Junior AML/KYC Analyst

Job description

**Organisation** Anthos Fund & Asset Management is a value-based asset manager that stewards capital for professional investors who want to create a bigger impact together. We do this by responsibly managing capital in line with the values of sustainability, human dignity, and good corporate citizenship. Founded nearly 100 years ago to manage the assets of the Brenninkmeijer family, Anthos today also welcomes like-minded investors. We provide investment management and advisory services across public and private markets, including equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, and alternative investments. Anthos is part of COFRA, a sixth-generation family-owned group of investment platforms and businesses active in asset management, private equity, real estate, retail, clean energy and sustainable food. Across all its activities, COFRA is guided by a shared ambition: to be a force for good in society and the environment. **Purpose of the role** At Anthos, AML/KYC is not a back-office checklist. It is a core part of how we protect our licence to operate, serve our clients responsibly, and remain a trusted partner to clients, employees, regulators, COFRA and other relevant stakeholders. Know Your Customer, Customer Due Diligence and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML/KYC”) are important topics in society, with significant exposure, regulatory attention and direct management accountability. For Anthos and its clients, it is essential that we meet our obligations and prevent integrity risks where practicable, including money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions breaches and other harmful or illegal activity. These obligations are reflected in laws and regulations such as the Dutch Wwft, Wft and Sanctiewet, as well as relevant EU AML and sanctions developments. We are looking for someone who wants to join a small multidisciplinary AML/KYC team and help strengthen the full KYC domain at the heart of Anthos. You will work across different areas, including operations, data, change, policy, legal and business advisory. The AML/KYC team is part of our first line of defence. You will report to the Head of AML/KYC, and the team ultimately reports into the Chief Risk & Innovation Officer. In this role, you will help strengthen Anthos’ AML/KYC foundation by: - Supporting the ongoing development and improvement of Anthos' AML/KYC framework, processes and ways of working. - Helping translate AML/KYC requirements into practical guidance and solutions for the business. - Supporting and improving AML/KYC data, tooling, reporting and automation initiatives. - Providing day-to-day support on AML/KYC matters across onboarding, reviews and ongoing monitoring activities. - Helping ensure AML/KYC requirements are applied consistently, documented appropriately and remain audit-ready. - Contributing to AML/KYC awareness and knowledge sharing across the organisation. - Performing AML/KYC reviews and helping ensure files are complete, well-evidenced and decision-ready. **What you bring** We're looking for someone who has gained their first professional experience in financial services, whether in asset management, investment funds, private markets, client due diligence or a related environment. You don't need to know everything about AML/KYC from day one, but you should be excited about building a career in a role that combines regulation, analysis, problem-solving and collaboration. What matters most is that you're curious, eager to learn and interested in understanding how Anthos operates. You're motivated to build your expertise in AML/KYC while helping protect the integrity of our business and our clients. Additionally, you'll bring: - Up to 5 years of experience with KYC, customer due diligence, AML, sanctions or other risk-related activities. - Strong analytical skills and the ability to approach problems in a structured way. - A proactive mindset and the willingness to take ownership of tasks and follow them through. - An interest in working with colleagues across different disciplines, including operations, investments, compliance and legal. - Curiosity about how processes, data and technology can help strengthen the AML/KYC domain. **You'll enjoy this role if** - You're naturally curious and enjoy understanding how things work. - You like connecting information, identifying patterns and solving problems. - You enjoy working with different stakeholders, levels and perspectives, and can balance client, first-line and second-line interests. - You can navigate ambiguity and simplify complexity. - You are interested in improving processes and strengthening the AML/KYC domain, not only executing individual files. - You're excited by the opportunity to contribute to a growing AML/KYC function rather than simply processing files. **What we offer** - Exposure to a wide range of topics, including clients, funds, third parties, investments, data, tooling, governance and regulatory expectations. - The opportunity to help build and professionalise the AML/KYC Centre of Excellence in a small, multidisciplinary team. - Room to learn, contribute and make visible impact in an area that is important to Anthos’ licence to operate and reputation. - A full-time position and a one-year contract - Flexible working arrangements, a healthy work-life balance and 31 days of annual leave. - Volunteering days and the opportunity to work abroad for up to four weeks per year. - A competitive compensation and benefits package, including participation in the Provisum pension scheme. - Additional benefits such as a home office budget, subsidised lunches, an in-house barista and a discounted gym membership. Reference checks and a pre-employment screening are a final step of the hiring procedure.  *We believe better decisions come from diverse perspectives and an inclusive culture. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and creating an environment where everyone is respected, valued and able to contribute fully. We encourage applications from individuals with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. If you are excited about the role but do not meet every requirement, we would still like to hear from you.*
