You will assess control design and operating effectiveness, produce clear MI and governance reporting, and drive timely remediation with key stakeholders. This role operates with appropriate independence from day-to-day operational processing.

Responsibilities:

• Controls Testing & Assurance:
• Design and execute a periodic controls testing plan (monthly/quarterly/annual) aligned to Binance Australia’s AML/CTF Program, SOPs, control library, and risk priorities.
• Maintain and enhance the controls testing methodology (scope, sampling approach, evidence standards, pass/fail criteria, exception rating, documentation requirements).
• Conduct frequent controls testing using defined test scripts and develop/improve scripts where gaps are identified.
• Evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, document test results, and clearly articulate exceptions, root causes, and risk impact.
• Perform thematic reviews and emerging risk testing (e.g., new products, typologies, policy changes, AUSTRAC guidance updates).

• Coverage Across Core AML/CTF Workflows (Including Reporting):
• QA and controls testing across onboarding/KYC (CDD/EDD), ongoing customer due diligence, PEP/sanctions screening, transaction monitoring and investigations/case management, and record-keeping.
• Perform QA over regulatory reporting controls and workflow effectiveness, including SMR quality/timeliness, and where applicable TTR and IFTI reporting completeness, accuracy, and submission timelines (including escalation and decisioning controls).

• Reporting, MI & Governance:
• Draft periodic QA/controls testing MI dashboards and presentations (trends, recurring issues, remediation progress, control health indicators).
• Communicate testing outcomes, recommendations, and control enhancement opportunities to Compliance, Operations, Product, and other stakeholders.
• Maintain a structured issues and remediation tracker, validate closure evidence, and re-test to confirm remediation effectiveness.
• Support audit and regulatory readiness by maintaining well-organised evidence packs and responding to information requests.

• Continuous Improvement & Stakeholder Management:
• Partner with process owners to improve control design, operational execution, and system configuration.
• Provide feedback to the function lead on improvements to the testing plan, scripts, MI reporting, and exception management approach.
• Promote consistent, well-documented, and repeatable control execution practices.

Requirements:

• 3-5+ years experience in AML/CTF compliance, QA, controls testing/monitoring, assurance, or internal audit within financial services, payments, fintech, or digital assets.
• Demonstrated experience with AUSTRAC-focused AML/CTF obligations and practical exposure to AML/CTF Programs and regulatory expectations is highly desirable
• Proven ability to perform controls testing across CDD/EDD, screening, transaction monitoring/investigations, and SMR reporting QA (as applicable).
• Strong knowledge of control testing concepts: design vs operating effectiveness, sampling, evidence standards, exception grading, root-cause analysis, remediation validation.
• Strong analytical capability and attention to detail; ability to translate findings into concise, actionable recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to influence stakeholders and present governance-ready reporting.
• Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Slides; comfortable working with compliance tooling and case management systems.
• Experience in digital assets/crypto exchange compliance and relevant typologies (fraud, mule activity, layering, chain-hopping, sanctions evasion) is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with transaction monitoring and screening tools, KYC vendor solutions, and workflow/case management platforms is preferred.
• Certifications such as CAMS, ICA, CA AML/CTF, or their equivalents would be an added advantage.
