With over 2,500 professionals employed across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, my client is a truly global company who currently have an excellent opportunity for an experienced legal compliance professional to join their Leeds office as a Compliance Analyst.

This role will involve the successful candidate reviewing client files under the supervision and direction of an experienced management team in relation to businesses operating within the Cayman and British Virgin Island jurisdictions and ensuring that legislation is being complied with at all times. Although candidates with experience working on matters within these jurisdictions would be of extreme interest to my client, it is not an absolutely essential criterion and my client is very interested in junior candidates in the KYC/AML profession.

The attributes and skills that my client is looking for from candidates for this role include:

• A good and advanced understanding of KYC and AML regulatory obligations;
• An ability to be adaptable and work towards multiple deadlines;
• Being comfortable working under minimal supervision (further support will, however, be available as and where required);
• Strong organisational, communication and teamwork skills; and
• A real and demonstrable enthusiasm for a career in compliance.

My client would expect the successful candidate to attend its Leeds office 2–3 times a week (located approximately 3–5 minutes' walk away from Leeds Train Station). There are some great benefits associated with working for my client, some of which include comprehensive health coverage, life and travel insurance, further educational assistance / professional development and access to savings and/or pension plans.
