Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst - Crypto

About Us

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins. Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We're building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital.

We're a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. We've made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Crypto Analyst to join our fast-growing FCI team. As a Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, you'll play a key role in handling screening and transaction monitoring alerts to prevent bad actors from processing transactions through BVNK. You'll conduct in-depth analysis and thorough investigations to address complex and varied financial crime threats.

You'll take ownership of cases triggered by BVNK's financial crime systems and controls, focusing primarily on BVNK's digital assets offering and mitigating financial crime risks. While this role focuses on BVNK's digital assets offering, your cases will inevitably crossover with the world of fiat currency and you'll have the opportunity to support cutting-edge investigations in fiat and digital assets.

We are seeking a candidate who can commit to a full-time schedule working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CEST). We are looking for a team player who is adaptable and enjoys solving complex problems in a constantly changing environment. You must be adept at managing competing priorities and work well in a highly demanding environment. You will be comfortable delivering high-quality investigations at pace and presenting your findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

• Experience reviewing sanctions and watchlist screening alerts within a regulated institution or digital asset setting
• Experience using tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM (or equivalent). Any blockchain-related investigative certifications are desirable but not required
