Analyst, Commercial KYC & Client Screening
About The Position
This is a counterparty due diligence role at the heart of ConocoPhillips’ Commercial business. Working within our decentralized screening model, you will help ensure the counterparties we trade with — trading partners, terminals, brokers, agents, and marine-adjacent entities — are properly reviewed, understood, and cleared before we do business, and monitored for change afterwards. The majority of your time will be spent on KYC; a smaller portion supports our trade-monitoring program, giving you exposure to how trading activity is analyzed across global markets. We are looking for someone detail-oriented, self-motivated, and trainable, who brings a genuine risk mindset and sound judgment — someone who wants to understand why a counterparty or a piece of information doesn’t add up, not just tick a box. The successful candidate is curious, organized and communicates clearly.
Requirements
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Business, Finance, Economics, Law, Criminal Justice, International Relations, or a related field
- 1 or more years of experience in counterparty due diligence, sanctions or trade compliance, risk, banking, counterparty onboarding or contracts, or a related field (including internships)
Nice To Haves
- Experience reviewing and clearing sanctions or adverse media alerts, and hands-on exposure to CDD/EDD and beneficial ownership reviews
- Familiarity with sanctions regimes (US OFAC, UK OFSI, EU, Canada, Norway, Australia) and screening tools
- Exposure to commodities/energy markets, or a demonstrated interest in learning them
- Working proficiency with Excel, and exposure to data-visualization tools (Power BI / Tableau) or SQL — or a demonstrated ability and drive to pick them up on the job
- Clear evidence of a self-taught skill or topic — a certification, project, or capability you pursued on your own initiative — demonstrating genuine drive to learn
- Attention to detail and sound judgment, with the ability to work methodically through information and know when to escalate
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documenting reviews clearly
Responsibilities
- Conduct onboarding and periodic KYC reviews of Commercial and Marine counterparties
- Perform beneficial ownership reviews, unpicking ownership chains and identifying ultimate beneficial owners
- Review and adjudicate sanctions and adverse media alerts as part of counterparty reviews, resolving name matches and escalating true or uncertain hits
- Identify and escalate red flags to senior analysts with clear, well-evidenced rationale, and support the ongoing risk review of counterparties already onboarded
- Maintain the Approved Counterparty List and ensure screening records are accurate and complete
- Support trade-monitoring operations that help identify global trading activity to help identify patterns, outliers, and potential risk indicators
- Build a working understanding of the commodities ConocoPhillips trades and why counterparty screening matters to a global energy business
- Participate in business-improvement projects that strengthen screening and monitoring processes, data, and systems
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, mental health support, and wellness programs
- Competitive base pay, annual performance bonuses, and retirement savings plans
- Paid time off, paid parental leave, and family support resources
- Access to training, mentoring, and internal career mobility tools
- Peer-nominated awards, inclusive culture, and employee resource groups
