• Collaborate with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure that onboarding and payment processes meet regulatory standards
• Report and escalate suspicious activity or potential violations to the Manager, and assist in preparing regulatory filings if required
• Contribute to the development and improvement of MGID’s internal compliance policies, procedures, and risk-scoring frameworks
• Ensure adherence to international sanctions and PEP screening procedures, maintaining awareness of changing global requirements
• Support internal and external audits by providing documentation, reports, and explanations of compliance controls
• Deliver KYC/AML awareness and training sessions to relevant departments, promoting a culture of compliance within the organization
