Financial Crime Analyst - Remote Opportunity at Plasma

About the Role

We are seeking a Financial Crime Analyst remote to join our dynamic team at Plasma. This role is crucial as we redefine how money moves in the blockchain space. As a Financial Crime Analyst, you will be at the forefront of ensuring compliance and mitigating risks associated with financial crime in our innovative environment.

What You'll Do

• Manage and coordinate end-to-end Customer Due Diligence (CDD) reviews: gather documentation, verify identity, assess risk, and ensure compliance with regulatory and partner requirements.
• Drive high-quality CDD decisions: evaluate customer risk profiles, identify red flags, escalate appropriately, and document clear rationales for approvals or rejections.
• Support ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews: ensure customer files remain up to date, risk scores are recalibrated, and enhanced due diligence (EDD) is triggered where required.
• Detect and report suspicious activity, including predicate offences related to money laundering and terrorist financing.
• Translate regulatory requirements into operational processes: clarify obligations, identify gaps, and help define internal controls and standards aligned with best practices.
• Collaborate with Product, Ops, and Engineering teams to design scalable, automation-ready workflows and data requirements.
• Operate with ownership in a fast-moving environment: prioritize the highest-impact cases, unblock others through guidance, and maintain consistently high standards of rigor and documentation.

Requirements

• A compliance professional with a minimum of 3+ years of experience in CDD, AML/CTF investigations, and Sanctions Screening, preferably in a PSP/crypto/fintech environment.
• Familiarity with blockchain analytics tools (such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM) and their application in customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and risk classification.
• Deep practical experience in financial and economic crime sanctions compliance, with a strong understanding of regulatory details and their application in real workflows.
• Risk-minded and detail-oriented: you think in terms of customer risk profiles, regulatory obligations, adversarial behavior, and audit-ready documentation.
• Clear communicator: fluent in English, able to articulate complex regulatory expectations simply and provide crisp written justifications for decisions.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with fintechs, neobanks, or crypto-related financial products.
• Strong understanding of the unique challenges around wallets, stablecoins, and cross-border transactions.
• Experience with payments companies and a strong understanding of payment systems and scheme compliance.
• Exposure to automation-focused process design or tooling for KYC/AML functions.

What We Offer

• Above market salary plus token compensation.
• Premium health insurance for you and your family fully covered by Plasma.
• Monthly wellness budget, whether for the gym, therapy, sauna, or massage.
• All the tools and tech you need to operate at your best.
• A supportive environment where you can do the best work of your life.
