Compliance & AML Compliance Support Associate

Location: Vancouver, Canada (on-site at the Vancouver office).

Our client is a regulatory compliance consultancy supporting financial services firms across multiple jurisdictions. They’re expanding their Canadian compliance support for money services businesses (MSBs) and payment service providers (PSPs).

They’re looking for a Compliance & AML Compliance Support Associate in Vancouver. It’s a hands-on role for someone organised and reliable, combining compliance support with local office administration. It’s not a senior MLRO or head of compliance position. It’s built for someone with strong attention to detail who wants to grow into a trusted Canadian AML and payments compliance professional.

You’ll support day-to-day AML, FINTRAC and Bank of Canada RPAA compliance for clients under senior supervision, and act as the local office administrator.

• Support FINTRAC MSB registration, maintenance, updates, compliance calendars and regulatory deadline tracking
• Act as first-line support contact for assigned clients under the fractional AML Compliance Officer service, under senior supervision
• Help prepare AML programme documentation: policies, procedures, risk assessments, training logs and effectiveness review records
• Support KYC/KYB, beneficial ownership, PEP and ongoing monitoring records, and keep records for suspicious transaction escalation and other reportable transactions
• Prepare monthly AML support summaries, compliance trackers, open-action lists and draft client compliance reports
• Monitor FINTRAC, Bank of Canada and other Canadian regulatory updates and prepare draft summaries for senior review
• Support Bank of Canada RPAA assessments, PSP registration and related documentation (operational risk, safeguarding of funds, incident response)
• Receive, log, scan, store and escalate official mail and regulatory correspondence at the Vancouver office, and track the resulting deadlines
• Maintain the Canadian entity’s corporate, compliance and governance records, and coordinate with accountants, lawyers, banks and other local providers
• Act as local office administrator: day-to-day coordination, filing, supplies and supplier coordination
• Gain exposure to regulatory work in other jurisdictions, including licensing, internal audit support, M&A due diligence and training materials

• Based in Vancouver or able to work from the Vancouver office
• Degree, diploma or relevant studies in Law, Finance, Business, Accounting or a related field
• Strong written and spoken English
• Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive)
• Strong organisation and document-management skills
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion
• Knowledge of AML, FINTRAC, MSB compliance, RPAA, payments, crypto or fintech is an advantage
• Familiarity with the PCMLTFA, or a CAMS/ICA/ACAMS or other AML certificate (or willingness to pursue one), is an advantage
