Junior Risk & Compliance Officer
About The Role
Vivid Money B.V. is a Dutch-regulated firm offering investment and crypto services across Europe. As Junior Risk & Compliance Officer, you will work directly alongside - and report to - the Head of Risk & Compliance, supporting the day-to-day running of Vivid's risk and compliance framework.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with a strong financial-crime and market-surveillance core. You will own a defined set of recurring compliance activities, investigate alerts, prepare reporting and documentation, and escalate matters that require senior judgement. It is an ideal opportunity for an early-career professional who wants to build broad, practical second-line experience in a fast-growing investment and crypto business.
As a member of a small team that also supports risk and compliance at Group level (such us the Luxembourg-based EMI entity, Vivid Money S.A.), you will gain exposure across entities and regulatory regimes.
Your Mission
- Quality assurance reviews: Perform quality assurance reviews across Vivid's compliance activities as needed (e.g. transaction-monitoring alert handling).
- Market abuse surveillance: Investigate trade-surveillance alerts and document the rationale for clearing or escalating them; refer complex cases, and any that may warrant a STOR, to the Head of Risk & Compliance.
- Unusual activity investigations: Assist with financial-crime investigations and the preparation of unusual transaction reports to the FIU, gathering and analysing the relevant information.
- Negative news screening: Conduct adverse-media screening on vendors and counterparties to identify any news that could impact the business, and escalate material findings.
- Conflicts of interest: Administer the conflicts of interest and gifts process, including issuing declaration forms to relevant stakeholders, collecting responses and maintaining the register.
- Board reporting support: Help collect the data and inputs that feed Board reporting, under the direction of the Head of Risk & Compliance.
- Audit and examination support: Assist with internal and external audits and regulatory reviews by preparing supporting documentation and evidence.
- Team support: Support the wider Risk & Compliance team with registers, record-keeping and ad hoc projects as the business grows.
Your Profile
- Around 1-3 years' experience in a risk, compliance or financial-crime role within a regulated financial institution.
- A working knowledge of the rules relevant to an investment firm and crypto-asset service provider - in particular market abuse (MAR), MiFID II, MiCAR and AML/CFT (Wwft).
- Familiarity with investment products and/or crypto-assets (e.g. equities, derivatives, FX, crypto).
- An analytical, investigative mindset with the ability to reach and clearly document reasoned conclusions.
- Strong attention to detail, well organised, and able to manage recurring tasks, forms and deadlines reliably.
- Sound judgement, discretion and integrity when handling sensitive information.
- Excellent written and spoken English; a second European language is a plus.
- Alignment with our company values: you are customer-obsessed, unstoppable, an owner, and radically honest.
- Based in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) or willing to relocate.
