What role will you play in our team

Conducting risk-based due diligence on prospective and existing counterparties. The role evaluates counterparty identity, ownership and control, business activities, regulatory status, geographic exposure, reputation, sanctions exposure, and other financial-crime or integrity risks.

Manage due diligence cases from initiation through completion, document findings and risk conclusions, identify information gaps and red flags, and escalate material concerns in accordance with company policies and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The position will work closely with business stakeholders, Law, Risk & Controls, Procurement, Operations, and other control functions to support informed and timely counterparty decisions.

This role requires strong investigative judgment, attention to detail, concise writing, and the ability to balance risk management with business needs.

Responsibilities

• Conduct initial, periodic, and event-driven due diligence reviews of counterparties, including legal entities, financial institutions, vendors, intermediaries, agents, and other third parties.
• Collect, verify, and analyze corporate registration records, organizational documents, ownership information, licenses, regulatory records, tax forms, certifications, and other supporting documentation.
• Identify and document ultimate beneficial owners, controlling persons, directors, authorized signatories, and relevant affiliates.
• Analyze complex ownership and control structures, including multi-tiered entities, investment funds, trusts, partnerships, state-owned entities, and offshore structures.
• Perform sanctions, PEP, watchlist, enforcement, and adverse-media screening on counterparties and relevant associated persons.
• Conduct open-source and database research to understand the counterparty’s business model, operating history, reputation, geographic footprint, products and services, and expected relationship with the company.
• Evaluate risk factors such as jurisdiction, industry, ownership, government affiliation, sanctions nexus, regulatory history, adverse information, and the nature and purpose of the relationship.
• Assign or recommend counterparty risk ratings using established policies, procedures, and risk-rating methodologies.
• Conduct enhanced due diligence when higher-risk indicators are present, including deeper investigation of ownership, source of funds or wealth when applicable, business rationale, regulatory standing, and adverse information.
• Prepare clear, concise, and well-supported due diligence reports that summarize findings, identified risks, mitigating factors, unresolved questions, and recommended disposition.
• Identify inconsistencies, information gaps, policy exceptions, and red flags, and escalate material concerns to the appropriate Compliance, Legal, sanctions, or risk authority.
• Partner with business sponsors and relationship owners to obtain required information and resolve outstanding due diligence items.
• Maintain accurate and complete case records, supporting evidence, approvals, and audit trails in applicable workflow or case-management systems.
• Monitor review deadlines, case aging, service-level expectations, and periodic-review schedules.
• Support quality-control reviews, internal audits, regulatory examinations, management reporting, and remediation initiatives.
• Stay informed of relevant changes in sanctions, AML, anti-bribery and corruption, beneficial-ownership, and third-party-risk requirements.
