What's Exciting About the Role 

As Merchant Monitoring & Ongoing Due Diligence (ODD) Analyst, you keep our existing merchant portfolio compliant with the applicable AML/CTF frameworks (GwG, Wwft, MLR 2017, FIN-FSA AML Act, EBA guidelines) and internal group risk appetite. You review, refresh and re-assess merchant files on a risk-based cycle, act on trigger events from monitoring signals, and make well-documented decisions on continuation, remediation or exit – all under a single group standard applied across entities.  

Merchant Monitoring & ODD is being built out as a dedicated capability within the group. This role is deliberately designed with a growth path: strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into the Team Lead Merchant Monitoring & ODD position as the function scales. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Periodic reviews: Execute risk-based re-underwriting cycles (low / medium / high / EDD) across the group merchant portfolio, applying the entity-specific policy that governs each merchant (BaFin / DNB / FCA / FIN-FSA) on top of the common group standard.
• Trigger-based reviews: Handle event-driven reviews originating from transaction monitoring (Featurespace / IBM Safer Payments), adverse media, sanctions or PEP hits, UBO or legal-form changes, chargeback spikes and scheme notifications.
• KYC / KYB refresh: Re-verify legal entity data, UBO structures, control persons, licensing, PoA and business model; refresh IDs, register extracts and financials; document sources and gaps.
