Institutional Onboarding Analyst CDD AML KYC

KYC / Onboarding Analyst — Financial Services Dubai or Abu Dhabi | AED 14,000 – 20,000 per month (depending on experience)

A regulated financial services firm, backed by major global institutions, is hiring a KYC / Onboarding Analyst to join its growing team in the UAE.

Youll own end-to-end client due diligence for sophisticated professional clients — corporates, funds, and complex multi-jurisdictional structures. Day-to-day, youll be running KYC/CDD checks, conducting EDD on high-risk cases, identifying UBOs across layered ownership structures, and verifying Source of Wealth and Source of Funds. Youll work closely with front office and compliance, manage a high-volume pipeline against tight SLAs, and apply a pragmatic, risk-based approach to financial crime.

What youll need:

• 2–3 years KYC / CDD / AML experience in financial services, banking, or brokerage
• Hands-on experience with corporates, funds, and multi-layered ownership structures
• Confidence handling PEPs, high-risk jurisdictions, and EDD cases
• Strong grasp of UBO identification and SoW / SoF verification
• Exposure to digital assets, crypto markets, or institutional VASPs is strongly preferred
