We are looking for an experienced Sanctions & CTF Investigator to join Binance's Compliance team. This role is focused on conducting in-depth investigations into sanctions exposure and counter-terrorism financing activity across Binance's global platform. The ideal candidate brings strong investigative instincts, hands-on blockchain analytics experience, and a solid understanding of sanctions frameworks and CTF typologies in the crypto context.

Responsibilities:

Investigations

Conduct end-to-end investigations into sanctions-related alerts, CTF suspicions, and high-risk activity flagged through transaction monitoring or referrals

Perform blockchain tracing and on-chain analysis to identify fund flows, wallet attribution, and links to sanctioned entities or terrorist financing networks

Investigate cases involving OFAC, UN, EU, and other global sanctions lists, applying appropriate jurisdictional knowledge

Prepare clear, accurate, and well-evidenced investigation reports, including SAR/STR filings where required

Case & Alert Management

Manage an assigned caseload within defined SLAs, prioritising effectively and maintaining accurate case records

Conduct open-source research (OSINT) to enrich investigations and identify connections to sanctioned parties, terrorist organisations, or illicit networks

Support client off-boarding processes for cases involving confirmed or suspected sanctions exposure

Process & Compliance

Ensure all investigative activity is conducted in line with Binance's Global Sanctions Policy and CTF compliance frameworks

Identify process gaps or control weaknesses observed during investigations and escalate recommendations for improvement

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in sanctions investigations, CTF investigations, or financial crime investigations in a crypto or financial services environment

Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools: Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, or equivalent

Strong working knowledge of global sanctions frameworks (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) and CTF regulatory requirements

Proven ability to conduct complex, multi-source investigations and produce clear, defensible written outputs including SARs/STRs

Experience with sanctions screening platforms (e.g. World-Check, ComplyAdvantage, Actimize) is an advantage

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Law, Criminal Justice, Computer Science, or a related field

Strong analytical and investigative skills — able to connect disparate data points and form well-reasoned conclusions

Excellent written and verbal communication — investigation reports must be audit-ready and regulator-facing

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with competing priorities

Nice to Have:

CAMS, CGSS, or equivalent professional certification

Prior experience in law enforcement, an FIU, or a regulatory body

Experience with OSINT tools and open-source investigative techniques

Knowledge of DeFi, cross-chain activity, and emerging crypto financial crime typologies
