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 general 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.

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 elevate recommendations for improvement
- 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
- 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
