We’re growing fast and we have some very exciting plans. We’re looking for a Senior Financial Crime Investigator to help us make them happen.
What you can expect to be doing:
Carrying out Customer due diligence (CDD) checks e.g. Peps and Sanctions
Conduct Investigations stemming from trigger events such as transaction monitoring alerts or source of wealth enquiries to identify suspicious activity
Performing manual tasks including document reviews and actioning risk based account closures
Providing recommendations & decisions for financial crime related requests raised by other teams within the business
Adhering to all relevant financial crime processes/procedures to complete operational financial crime workflows.
Proactively identifying issues with current processes and procedures and implementing improvements
What we’re looking for:
A keen interest in Financial Crime and Fraud

You have a good understanding of risk mitigation
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Good analytical and investigative skills with the ability to make informed decisions using best judgement.
Attention to detail across all areas of work

What we’re really looking for: ✍️
We’re looking for someone who’s genuinely excited about Chip and energised by the opportunity to help build the future of wealth, making saving, investing and pensions simpler and more accessible for everyone.
We work in a regulated space, so the bar is high. But we’ve built a team of smart, thoughtful people who care about doing great work and enjoy doing it together. Technical skills matter, obviously. But they’re not the only thing we hire for.
We want real people. People with interests, perspective and personality. The best teams are made up of individuals who bring different experiences into the room, not just polished CVs and good interview answers.
So alongside the technical side, we’ll be looking for empathy, self-awareness, sound judgement, resilience and a collaborative mindset. People who are good to work with, especially when things get hard.
