We are looking for an experienced Sanctions & CTF Investigator to join Binance's Compliance team. This role is focused on conducting in-depth investigations into sanctions exposure and counter-terrorism financing activity across Binance's global platform. The ideal candidate brings strong investigative instincts, hands-on blockchain analytics experience, and a solid understanding of sanctions frameworks and CTF typologies in the crypto context.

Responsibilities:

Investigations

• Conduct end-to-end investigations into sanctions-related alerts, CTF suspicions, and high-risk activity flagged through transaction monitoring or referrals
• Perform blockchain tracing and on-chain analysis to identify fund flows, wallet attribution, and links to sanctioned entities or terrorist financing networks
• Investigate cases involving OFAC, UN, EU, and other global sanctions lists, applying appropriate jurisdictional knowledge
• Prepare clear, accurate, and well-evidenced investigation reports, including SAR/STR filings where required

Case & Alert Management

• Manage an assigned caseload within defined SLAs, prioritising effectively and maintaining accurate case records
• Conduct open-source research (OSINT) to enrich investigations and identify connections to sanctioned parties, terrorist organisations, or illicit networks
• Support client off-boarding processes for cases involving confirmed or suspected sanctions exposure

Process & Compliance

• Ensure all investigative activity is conducted in line with Binance's Global Sanctions Policy and CTF compliance frameworks
• Identify process gaps or control weaknesses observed during investigations and escalate recommendations for improvement

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in sanctions investigations, CTF investigations, or financial crime investigations in a crypto or financial services environment
• Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools: Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, or equivalent
• Strong working knowledge of global sanctions frameworks (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) and CTF regulatory requirements
• Proven ability to conduct complex, multi-source investigations and produce clear, defensible written outputs including SARs/STRs
• Experience with sanctions screening platforms (e.g. World-Check, ComplyAdvantage, Actimize) is an advantage
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Law, Criminal Justice, Computer Science, or a related field
• Strong analytical and investigative skills — able to connect disparate data points and form well-reasoned conclusions
• Excellent written and verbal communication — investigation reports must be audit-ready and regulator-facing
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with competing priorities

Nice to Have:

• CAMS, CGSS, or equivalent professional certification
• Prior experience in law enforcement, an FIU, or a regulatory body
• Experience with OSINT tools and open-source investigative techniques
• Knowledge of DeFi, cross-chain activity, and emerging crypto financial crime typologies
