Job Title: Compliance Analyst - Trading Environment


Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Start Date: July 2025
Work Type: Full-time, 5 days a week (on-site for the first 6 months)

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Compliance Analyst to join a fast-paced and collaborative trading environment in Amsterdam. This role is ideal for someone with a strong interest in financial markets and a solid foundation in regulatory compliance, who thrives in a tech-driven, data-heavy atmosphere.

You'll be part of a tight-knit, growing team (currently 40 people locally) where you'll work closely with an experienced manager and colleagues from legal, compliance, and trading support functions. The culture is fast, innovative, and collaborative - blending finance with technology.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Monitor and analyze trading activity; compile and summarize findings for internal stakeholders.

  • Build and maintain KYC files for counterparties and ensure adherence to AML/CTF standards.

  • Own regulatory and exchange reporting obligations, ensuring timely and accurate submissions.

  • Liaise with exchanges, regulators, and internal teams on compliance-related matters and inquiries.

  • Contribute to ongoing surveillance, risk assessments, and internal controls to support regulatory readiness.

  • Stay up to date with evolving European and global financial regulations, and assess their impact on business operations.

  • Provide compliance support for business and technology-driven projects, new initiatives, and product rollouts.

What We're Looking For:

  • 1-3 years of experience in regulatory compliance, preferably within financial services (e.g., bank, asset manager, trading firm).

  • Educational background: Bachelor's or Master's in Business, Economics, or Law.

  • Strong understanding of key regulatory themes in the EU/EEA financial landscape (e.g., MiFID II, EMIR, MAR).

  • Strong interest in financial markets, regulatory frameworks, and risk management.

  • Familiarity with Python (a plus) and SQL (basic/formal knowledge expected).

  • Comfortable working with data, regulatory reporting tools, and presenting insights to stakeholders.

  • Excellent communication skills in English (both written and spoken).

  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

  • Reliable, organized, and ready to grow within a global compliance team.

Benefits:

  • Private Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

  • Group Pension Scheme

  • Life Assurance & Income Protection

  • Paid Parental Leave

  • Commuter Benefits

  • Travel Medical Insurance
