Join a small, high-performing AML team within one of the world’s most prestigious US law firms. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced AML professional to take on meaningful, complex work with global impact, while shaping and influencing the future of AML processes across the firm’s international offices.

Why Apply?

  • Work on complex, cross-border matters involving high-end clients and multi- jurisdictional deals.

  • Make a real impact in a close-knit, collaborative team where your ideas and expertise will be valued and rewarded with a competitive salary.

  • Shape global AML processes and be involved in developing best practice standards across the firm.

As part of a growing AML function, you’ll report to the Global AML & Compliance Manager and play a central role in ensuring the firm meets its obligations around anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and sanctions compliance. You’ll take ownership of AML research, risk assessments, and due diligence across high-profile matters, while supporting global initiatives and knowledge-sharing within a small, experienced team based in London, Singapore, and Munich.

This role would suit a confident, detail-oriented AML professional who thrives in a fast- paced, collaborative environment. You’ll ideally have at least three years’ experience in an AML or sanctions compliance role within a law firm, with a strong understanding of AML, CTF, and sanctions obligations across the UK, Europe, and Asia. Strong research skills and experience conducting CDD on a range of entities are essential, along with excellent communication, discretion, and attention to detail. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and familiarity with AML tools or databases are required. A degree in Law, Financial Crime or a related field is preferred, and while an AML qualification is desirable, it’s not essential.

This is a rare chance to join a firm where you’ll work at the highest level, across jurisdictions, and alongside top legal professionals, while remaining part of a small, agile team where your voice is heard. If you’re looking to grow your AML career in a dynamic, forward-thinking setting, we’d love to hear from you.
