About the role
We are building out the compliance function for a fast-growing regulated online gaming (iGaming) group with UK and UAE entities. We are looking for a part-time KYC / AML Specialist to run and support the day-to-day customer due diligence operation. Position is FULLY REMOTE.
This is hands-on review work. You will own the KYC queue: onboarding checks, flag triage, enhanced due diligence, and ongoing monitoring, working inside the client's KYC platform (KYCaid) and reporting into a compliance oversight lead. This is a high-volume, high-risk environment, so accuracy, judgment, and a clean audit trail matter more than speed alone.
What you will do
Run customer onboarding and identity verification checks through KYCaid, from standard due diligence to enhanced due diligence on higher-risk cases.
Triage and clear verification flags, escalating true matches and unclear cases with a documented rationale.
Conduct PEP and sanctions screening, adverse media checks, and source-of-funds and source-of-wealth review.
Assess and document customer risk ratings across a diverse, international player base.
Maintain a complete, audit-ready record of every decision, and prepare periodic management information and reporting packs.
Support ongoing monitoring and periodic re-review of existing customers.
Flag suspicious activity to the named compliance officer for their decision. Note: the named MLRO / reporting role sits with the client, not this position.
What we are looking for
Proven KYC / AML experience gained in the UAE, with a working understanding of UAE AML expectations and international standards (FATF, CDD and EDD, risk-based approach).
Hands-on experience running KYC on a verification platform. Experience with KYCaid is a strong plus; experience with comparable tools (Sumsub, Onfido, ComplyAdvantage, Jumio or similar) is welcome.
Confident with PEP and sanctions screening, adverse media, and source-of-funds review, including judgment on true versus false matches.
Strong, defensible documentation habits and comfort maintaining an audit trail.
Discretion and sound judgment when handling sensitive, high-risk cases.
Nice to have
Prior exposure to online gaming, iGaming, payments, fintech, or another high-risk regulated sector.
Familiarity with crypto and virtual-asset due diligence.
A relevant compliance qualification (for example CAMS, ICA, or equivalent).
Details
Part-time, with flexible hours that can flex up as onboarding volume grows.
