KYB Analyst - 1 year contractor

Binance, a leading global blockchain ecosystem and the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users, is looking for a KYB Analyst for a 1-year contract. The company serves hundreds of millions of people across dozens of countries, delivering security, transparency and speed in its trading engine, with a broad portfolio spanning education, research, payments and more. The role sits in a hybrid setup that spans Hong Kong and Australia, and it’s a strong fit for someone who enjoys thorough compliance work and shaping how the business operates within regulatory expectations.

The position focuses on the second line of defence for corporate customers, handling onboarding reviews, periodic checks, trigger reviews, and remediation efforts. It’s a hands-on role for someone who wants to apply deep corporate due diligence, verify UBOs and authorized persons, and ensure documentation is complete and auditable. This is a chance to contribute to remediation projects and process improvements while staying current with AML, sanctions and KYB requirements. Note that Binance may use artificial intelligence tools to support parts of the hiring process, though final hiring decisions remain human-driven.

Applicants should review Binance's Candidate Privacy Notice.

Second line of defence in practice

In this KYB role you’ll run second-line reviews for corporate customers, handling onboarding assessments, ongoing reviews, and remediation actions as needed.

You’ll apply sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks on entities and related parties, assess risk factors like jurisdiction and anticipated activity, and escalate high-risk or unusual cases in line with internal procedures. When required, you’ll support Enhanced Due Diligence reviews and maintain an auditable trail across all casework. You’ll work with internal teams to obtain missing information, contribute to remediation and control enhancements, and stay up to date with policy updates and regulatory requests as part of a continuous improvement mindset.

Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with your CDD, KYC, AML and financial crime experience, and highlight any work with corporate structures, ownership analysis, and UBO identification so the reader sees you’re a fit for the core duties.

Show how you prove you have the must-have skills by weaving in concrete examples. Describe a case where you reviewed corporate documents across jurisdictions, spotted red flags, and escalated appropriately, including how you documented the audit trail and collaborated with other teams.

Prepare to talk through end-to-end KYB work in interviews: onboarding reviews, periodic checks, and remediation efforts, plus your approach to EDD when required. Be ready to discuss the controls you helped implementing or improvements you led and how you kept up with evolving AML and sanctions guidance.

Ask a target question that reveals how the team handles risk and remediation. For example, inquire about a recent remediation initiative, how cross-functional teams interact during high-risk escalations, and what metrics they use to measure the effectiveness of KYB controls.
