Learn more at www.binance.us. All roles supporting Binance.US are employed via BAM Management US Holdings Inc. or BAM Management Canada Holdings Inc.
About This Role:
The Compliance Investigations Associate is part of the Compliance team and will conduct structured, supervised investigations into matters involving transaction monitoring, Know Your Customer and Enhanced Due Diligence reviews, sanctions indicators, unusual customer activity, internal referrals, and potential financial crime.
This role is specifically designed for recent law school graduates. No prior professional, compliance, investigations, financial services, or cryptocurrency experience is required. Binance.US will provide the training, tools, and ongoing guidance needed to perform the role successfully.
As a Compliance Investigations Associate, you will apply the research, issue-spotting, evidence-review, and analytical writing skills developed in law school to complex customer and transaction fact patterns. You will partner with Legal, Customer Support, Risk, and other cross-functional stakeholders to develop well-supported findings, appropriately escalate risk, and help protect Binance.US, its customers, and the broader digital-asset ecosystem.
Core Responsibilities:
Conduct supervised investigations involving transaction-monitoring alerts, KYC and EDD information, sanctions-related indicators, unusual customer activity, internal referrals, fraud concerns, and other potential financial-crime risks.
Gather, review, and assess customer, account, transaction, blockchain, and other relevant information in accordance with established investigative procedures.
Research applicable Binance.US policies, regulatory requirements, financial-crime typologies, and risk indicators to support investigative findings.
Organize complex fact patterns into clear case chronologies, investigative summaries, and well-supported written narratives.
Identify relevant facts, inconsistencies, information gaps, and potential risk indicators, and determine when additional information or enhanced due diligence may be appropriate.
Recommend case escalation, closure, account restrictions, additional due diligence, or other actions in accordance with documented procedures and established decision authorities.
Support the development of case materials that may inform Suspicious Activity Report evaluations, while final SAR decisions and filings remain with authorized Compliance personnel.
Promptly escalate urgent, sensitive, or higher-risk matters to experienced investigators and Compliance leadership.
Identify recurring patterns, emerging typologies, and opportunities to strengthen investigative procedures, monitoring processes, and internal controls.
Maintain complete, accurate, objective, and timely case records in applicable case-management systems.
Participate in formal training, case-review sessions, quality-assurance exercises, and ongoing professional-development activities.
Handle confidential customer, business, and investigative information with discretion and in accordance with applicable privacy, security, and records-management requirements.
Preferred Skills/Experience:
Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school. Recent graduates and candidates completing their final year of law school are encouraged to apply.
No prior professional, compliance, investigations, financial services, or cryptocurrency experience is required. All role-specific training will be provided.
Bar admission is not required, as this is an investigations and compliance role rather than a practicing-attorney position.
Strong issue-spotting, legal research, fact-pattern analysis, and written-communication skills.
Ability to review large amounts of information, identify relevant facts, and develop clear, logical, and evidence-based conclusions.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate records while managing multiple assignments and deadlines.
Sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, discretion, and a willingness to ask questions and escalate matters when appropriate.
Ability to communicate professionally and collaborate effectively with Compliance, Legal, Fraud, Customer Support, Risk, and other cross-functional teams.
Interest in financial crime, regulatory compliance, digital assets, blockchain technology, fraud prevention, or customer protection.
Ability and willingness to learn blockchain-analysis tools, case-management systems, financial-crime typologies, and Binance.US investigative procedures.
Commitment to operating with integrity, objectivity, accountability, and respect for confidential information.
