• Perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and Ongoing Due Diligence (ODD), including detailed assessment of Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW), particularly in crypto-related scenarios.
• Draft and directly submit holistic SARs/STRs to FNTT in accordance with Lithuanian AML/CTF requirements, ensuring reports are clear, well-reasoned, and supported by documented evidence.
• Identify emerging crypto-related financial crime typologies and proactively address material risks alongside the MLRO, contributing to improvements in monitoring rules, procedures, and internal controls.
• Collaborate with Financial Crime Operations, Fraud, Product, Legal, and shared services teams (including U.S.-based stakeholders) to ensure investigations are consistent, risk-based, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

What you bring

• Passion for Robinhood's products and our mission to democratize finance for all.
• 4+ years of EU AML/CTF & Sanctions experience, ideally including 3+ years within crypto compliance in areas such as alert handling, transaction monitoring, case management, and suspicious activity reporting.

• Excellent analytical and writing skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex investigations and risk rationales.
