About the position
We are looking for an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Onboarding Analyst to help our Legal and Compliance team in London with AML and counterparty onboarding matters.
The regulatory landscape within our industry is very complex, and a strong understanding of this—particularly in an AML context—will be essential. You’ll be responsible for onboarding counterparties and conducting any required screenings using third-party vendors. You’ll also be an integral part of our team as we coordinate regulatory filings, complete AML/KYC questionnaires, open new exchange accounts, establish custody banking relationships and perform KYC refreshes.
You’ll assist with AML transaction monitoring using automated tools and have the opportunity to contribute to creating new processes and improving existing ones. The right person for this role will enjoy working with paperwork and people, and be able to answer questions and explain regulations and processes clearly to a wide range of colleagues and external parties.
About you
- Have an undergraduate degree and 1-3 years of experience in AML/KYC
- Understand UK/EU AML regulation in theory and in practice
- Have some understanding of different financial asset classes, including equities, fixed income, derivatives and FX, and a willingness to learn more
- Motivated self-starter who can handle competing priorities and work effectively in a challenging, fast-paced environment
- Organised with excellent attention to detail
- Strong analytical thinker with good judgement
- Can communicate clearly with colleagues and external partners
- Fluent in spoken and written English; foreign language skills are highly desirable

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
