Bybit, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and digital financial platform serving over 80 million users globally, is seeking an AML Expert to join its second line of defence function. This role bridges regulatory expectations and operational reality, requiring deep AML/CTF subject matter expertise to systematically identify process shortcomings and drive measurable improvements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Map and critically assess existing AML/CTF processes end-to-end (CDD, transaction monitoring, screening, SAR, ongoing due diligence), identifying inefficiencies, control weaknesses, duplication, and regulatory exposure
- Translate findings into structured, prioritized improvement proposals with clear risk rationale, implementation path, ownership, and measurable success criteria
- Challenge first-line operational teams constructively but rigorously; hold them accountable to regulatory standards and internal policy without becoming an operational bottleneck
- Act as internal subject matter authority on AML/CTF regulatory requirements and global best practices; ensure process design decisions are grounded in current regulatory expectation
- Track implementation of agreed process improvements through to completion; monitor whether changes deliver intended effect and escalate where they do not
- Support regulatory examinations, internal audits, and third-line reviews by providing clear, well-evidenced process documentation and subject matter input
- Contribute to the AFC risk assessment cycle by surfacing process-level control gaps as input to the overall AML/CTF risk picture
Success in this role means processes you review come out measurably more efficient, better controlled, and more defensible to regulators; the first line treats your findings as valuable input grounded in operational reality; and when regulators or internal audit ask how a process works, there is a clear, documented answer tracing back to your work.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of hands-on AML/CTF experience with significant exposure to both operational (1LoD) and oversight (2LoD) environments
- Demonstrable track record of identifying process failures and driving material, measurable improvements in an AML or compliance context
- Strong working knowledge of AMLD IV/V/VI, FATF Recommendations, and EBA AML/CTF Guidelines
- Structured analytical approach: able to decompose complex processes, identify critical failure points, and communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
- Credible and direct: comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and first-line management with evidence-based positions
- Experience in a regulated payments, crypto-asset, or fintech environment (preferred)
- CAMS, ICA Diploma, or equivalent AML qualification (advantageous)
