AML Business Analyst | KYC Automation & Compliance IT Bridge | Brussels

We are looking for AML Business Analysts for missions at the intersection of compliance and technology — KYC process automation, AML platform implementation, and regulatory transformation programs within Belgian and Luxembourg financial institutions.

This is the rarest profile in the compliance staffing market right now. Most AML BAs speak to compliance. Some speak to IT. What our clients need is someone who does both — fluently, in the same room, on the same day.

In practice: you take a KYC workflow from a compliance officer's whiteboard and turn it into a functional specification a developer can build from. You sit in workshops with both sides and leave with a document neither needs translated.

What these missions involve:

— Mapping existing KYC/AML processes end-to-end: data inputs, decision trees, exception handling, audit trail requirements — identifying what can realistically be automated vs. what requires human judgment

— Gathering and formalising functional requirements from compliance officers, operations managers, and data owners — often reconciling conflicting priorities

— Translating AML/KYC business rules into technical specifications: workflow logic, data mapping, API integration points, screening threshold calibration, alert routing rules, test scenario design

— Coordinating UAT with both compliance and IT sign-off: writing test cases based on real regulatory scenarios, tracking defects, managing go/no-go

— Supporting configuration of AML/KYC platforms (NICE Actimize, Oracle FCCM, Fircosoft, SAS AML, or custom-built) — or producing specs when solutions are built in-house

— Delivering operational documentation: functional specs, process maps (BPMN), SOPs, data dictionaries, training materials for LOD1 teams

Why now: insurers (life insurance AML obligations under Solvency II), mid-size banks running KYC digitisation, and fintechs scaling onboarding under MiCAR all need this hybrid profile. The AMLR deadline compresses every institution's transformation timeline into 15 months. Clients cannot wait for a Big4 team to ramp up — they need someone operational from day one.

Mission parameters:
— Duration: 6 to 18 months
— Location: Brussels or Antwerp, hybrid
— Rate: €650–€1,000/day depending on platform experience and seniority
— Start: ASAP — ongoing intake

1. 3–7 years as Business Analyst on KYC, AML, or regulatory transformation projects in financial services — banking or insurance

2. At least one implementation project delivered end-to-end: not just gap analysis, but hands-on from requirements through UAT to go-live, working directly with development teams

3. Comfortable with APIs, microservices architecture, and integration patterns — able to read and challenge technical documentation without being a developer

4. Data-literate: SQL for data profiling, Excel or Power BI for alert analysis, understanding of data quality concepts (lineage, deduplication, golden source)

5. Knowledge of insurance-specific KYC obligations is a genuine differentiator — life insurance AML requirements differ from banking

6. Hands-on experience with at least one platform: NICE Actimize (SAM, CDD, WLF), Oracle FCCM, Fircosoft, SAS AML, NetReveal

7. CAMS or equivalent AML certification appreciated

8. Fluent English required. French and/or Dutch required for client-facing work. Trilingual = premium positioning

9. Excellent written communication: specs that compliance officers and developers both use as-is, no intermediary needed
