About Us
Emerge is a fast-growing fintech startup, committed to innovation and excellence in delivering financial solutions. We are driven by a team of highly motivated professionals who thrive on tackling challenges and pushing boundaries in the fintech space. If you're looking for an opportunity to dive deep into a variety of business areas, work with incredibly talented individuals, and accelerate your learning and development, this role is for you.

‍

About the Role
We are looking for a motivated graduate to join our Compliance team. You’ll be involved in all aspects of keeping our customers safe: from fraud investigations and risk management to building policies and procedures to inform the rest of the team. And because we are a small team, this is a unique opportunity to gain exposure across multiple facets of a fast-growing startup, working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry.

‍

Key Responsibilities:

• Risk Framework Development: Assist in the day-to-day development and refinement of our risk framework, ensuring it aligns with both regulatory requirements and business needs.
• Fraud and AML Investigations: Participate in fraud and money laundering investigations, conducting research, preparing reports, and assisting with risk assessments.
• Conducting customer due diligence: Helping our customers to get onboarded when complex entities are involved (i.e., trusts, nominee companies etc)
• Transaction monitoring: Investigating anomalous transactions and behaviours from our customers to identify bad actors
• Communicating recommendations to build out our compliance stack: This could be anything from additional transaction monitoring rules, how we combat new fraud risks and ways we can continue to protect our customers.
• Drafting risk assessments as we build new features for our customers: Identifying risks with any new feature and working alongside product, UX and developers on ensuring regulatory compliance.

We don’t expect you to know how to do the key responsibilities from day one. We will provide you with the training and support you need to thrive in this role.
