Payment Specialist

Who you are

• This is an associate-level role for a sharp, data-minded analyst
• Sanctions of fincrime experience is a plus, not a must. Strong analysts from adjacent payments, fintech or similar fields are welcome
• 2–3 years' experience in an analytical or data-focused role. This is not a graduate or entry-level position
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You turn data into decisions
• Hands-on data skills with SQL and/or Python. You don't need to be an expert, but you'll get into the data
• Experience working with rules, logic or system configuration, and testing them
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical people
• Comfort in a fast-moving, high-performance and high-growth environment
• Experience in sanctions screening, AML, fraud or transaction monitoring
• Experience configuring screening tools and designing screening rules
• Exposure to crypto or other emerging payment types

What the job involves

• You'll own the day-to-day running and improvement of our screening systems, making them faster, more accurate and more resilient
• Own the day-to-day running of our screening platform (Fircosoft Continuity, the system that checks payments and customers against watchlists), keeping it healthy and reliable
• Design and test rules that cut false positives and reduce manual case work
• Manage watchlist updates and configurations to stay ahead of regulatory change
• Extend screening to new payment types and build automated testing so improvements stick
• What success looks like:
• False positives and manual workload fall measurably, without weakening detection
• Screening runs reliably and no longer depends on any single person
• New payment types and controls are supported quickly as the business grows
