About the Job

Requirements

A minimum of four years of experience in financial crime investigation, transaction monitoring, or anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing compliance, including at least two years conducting complex investigations and drafting suspicious activity reports, suspicious transaction reports, or suspicious matter reports.
Experience working in or with contracts for difference brokers, forex brokers, investment firms, or fintech platforms offering leveraged trading products.
Demonstrated exposure to end-to-end transaction monitoring investigation, alert disposition, and suspicious activity or transaction report preparation within a regulated financial services environment.
Ability to interpret complex transactional datasets across multiple accounts and entities.
Strong drafting and case-writing skills to produce clear, factual, well-structured, and defensible suspicious activity report narratives.
Sound understanding of anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing regulations, money laundering/terrorist financing typologies, and red-flag indicators relevant to online trading platforms, including deposit-withdrawal cycling, structuring, trade-based laundering, deliberate loss, and geographic and identity anomalies.
Ability to make independent decisions on complex cases and distinguish genuine suspicious activity from unusual but explainable client behaviour.
High attention to detail, organisation, and accountability in documentation.
A risk-based mindset.

Responsibilities

Conduct complex investigations on escalated alerts, including full transaction history review, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth analysis, beneficial ownership checks, open-source intelligence gathering, and cross-entity pattern analysis.
Prepare high-quality suspicious activity or suspicious transaction report narratives and supporting evidence packs suitable for entity money laundering reporting officer review and regulatory filing, in accordance with regulatory timeframes and internal quality standards.
Make independent disposition decisions on the most complex alerts and document the rationale to an auditable standard; dispositions for the highest-risk alert categories are subject to quality-control sampling and senior review.
Perform background checks and contextual research on counterparties and entities linked to alerts using public and subscription databases.
Maintain clear audit trails by accurately capturing investigative steps, conclusions, and rationale in the case management system.
Liaise with entity money laundering reporting officers on report filings, responding to queries and providing supplementary evidence where required.
Liaise with external counsel and regulators where required, under the direction of the Head of Transaction Monitoring.
Mentor Level 1 and Level 2 analysts on investigation techniques and recognition of complex typologies.
Support thematic reviews of specific client segments, typologies, or products as directed by the Head of Transaction Monitoring or Quality Assurance and Governance.
Identify process improvements and suggest control enhancements to strengthen detection and reporting capability.

Desired Qualifications

An ICA Certificate or Diploma in anti-money laundering or financial crime, CAMS, or equivalent.

We are a leading trading platform that is ambitiously expanding to the four corners of the globe.

The Group Transaction Monitoring (TM) L3 Analyst plays a critical role in the detection, investigation, and reporting of financial crime across Capital.com's global entity footprint. The role sits within the Alert Operations pillar of the Group TM function, reporting to the Group Head of Transaction Monitoring, and handles the most complex end-to-end investigations from escalated alert review through to SAR/SMR/STR preparation, entity MLRO liaison, and cross-jurisdictional pattern analysis.
Candidates must demonstrate hands-on experience conducting complex TM investigations, drafting SARs/SMRs/STRs to a regulatory standard, and making independent disposition decisions on high-risk cases within a regulated financial services environment.
The L3 Analyst operates with a high degree of autonomy. Where genuine suspicion is formed, the referral pack is submitted directly to the entity MLRO and is not subject to management approval. The Head of TM or Deputy may conduct a quality review before submission; any disagreement with the analyst's assessment is documented and both views are submitted to the MLRO together.

Demonstrated exposure to end-to-end TM investigation, alert disposition, and SAR/STR preparation within a regulated financial services environm
