Entry-Level KYC Analyst (Freelance Contract)

We are looking for motivated, diligent, and proactive Know Your Customer (KYC) Analysts to join us as freelancers. This mission demands a strong operational mindset with the ability to make fast, accurate decisions within a fast‑paced environment. In this position, you will be responsible for conducting detailed customer due diligence to prevent our organization from being misused for money laundering, financial fraud, and other financial crimes.

Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process of verifying the identity of customers and assessing potential risks before entering into a business relationship with them. It is a core part of financial compliance and fraud prevention.

KYC Responsibilities

• Conduct detailed customer due diligence, perform risk assessments, and ensure each customer complies with our company’s KYC policy.
• Gather necessary information and documents from new customers and verify them effectively.
• Ensure complete, accurate, and timely data entry of KYC records into the appropriate systems.
• Stay abreast of regulatory changes and updates regarding KYC and AML standards.
• Collaborate with the Compliance team to refine and optimize the company’s KYC policies.
• Ensure confidentiality of investigations and exchanges.

Fraud Analysis

• Assess and make recommendations to mitigate potential risks of financial fraud, money laundering, and terrorism financing.
• Use analytical tools and techniques to detect fraud, trends, patterns, and provide actionable insights to enhance business risk strategies.

Qualifications

• You are available for a 3 to 6‑month freelance mission in Paris, with the possibility of extension depending on volumes.
• You have at least 1 year of work experience (or 2 years via apprenticeship), in any field: customer support, admin, back office, finance, banking, or beyond.
• If you are looking to make a career shift or find your first role in the fintech world, you are more than welcome to apply.
• Naturally curious: you ask the right questions and dig into problems to find solutions.
• You are detail‑oriented, structured, and process‑driven.
• Comfortable working under pressure and adapting quickly to fast‑paced and changing environments.
• Able to manage multiple priorities while consistently delivering results and meeting targets.
• Have clear and efficient communication in English.
• Familiar with digital tools such as a CRM, ticketing system, or AI tools. This is a bonus, not a requirement.

Our ideal teammate: empathetic, skilled, frank. We love to challenge each other, and we leave our egos at the door.

How it will work

• Week 1: Foundations — tools, policies, and core concepts.
• Week 2: Guided practice — real cases with support from senior analysts.
• After: Progressive autonomy on live cases.
• From early on, you’ll be contributing to real decisions that matter.

Additional Information

• You must be based in Paris (mandatory).
• This is only for a freelance contract.
• Start date: May 4th.
• 100% onsite at the Paris office for the first 2 weeks of onboarding.

If you’re looking for a first step into fintech, or a way to pivot into compliance and financial crime, this is it.
