Client Data Analyst

Keeping client information accurate over time is critical to strong risk management and a trusted client experience. In this role, you will focus on mid-cycle KYC work—periodic refreshes, event-driven updates, and ongoing due diligence—where precision and follow-through matter. You will partner closely with stakeholders to resolve gaps quickly and raise issues with clear, well-supported insight. We will support your growth through exposure to complex structures, varied client types, and continuous improvement initiatives.

As an Analyst within the Commercial & Investment Bank (CIB) Wholesale KYC Operations team, you own mid-cycle Know Your Customer (KYC) activities, including periodic reviews, event-driven reviews, and ongoing due diligence. You will validate client information, assess documentation quality, and drive remediation to keep records accurate, complete, and current throughout the client lifecycle. You will partner with business and operations stakeholders to resolve issues within agreed timelines while applying Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and KYC standards. This role is intentionally mid-cycle heavy and is not primarily focused on full onboarding execution.

You will join a team that prioritizes quality, clear communication, and strong controls while balancing delivery timelines. The work is investigative and detail-oriented, with opportunities to improve processes that reduce rework and strengthen data quality. You will collaborate across functions and regions to align on requirements and close gaps efficiently.
