KYC/Client Due Diligence Paralegal
A leading international law firm is looking to appoint a KYC and Client Due Diligence professional to join its Manchester office on an initial 6 month contract.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded firm with a strong global presence and a well established risk and compliance function. The team is looking for support with ongoing client due diligence reviews, helping to manage a busy backlog while maintaining high standards of accuracy, judgement and service.
The work will include ongoing monitoring and screening of existing clients, carrying out research using a range of sources and databases, building client risk profiles, conducting risk assessments and identifying any potential AML issues for escalation where needed. The successful person will also work closely with legal teams, providing support and guidance throughout the review process and assisting with wider tasks linked to the firm's ongoing monitoring programme.
The role would suit someone with previous experience in KYC, AML, client due diligence or ongoing monitoring, ideally gained within a law firm or professional services environment. Strong research skills, a careful approach and the ability to manage work efficiently in a fast paced setting will all be important.
This is a full-time role, and the firm would ideally like someone to be in the Manchester office 4 days per week. The contract is expected to start in early to mid-May and will run for an initial 6 months.
