About The Position

Vivid Money B.V. is a Dutch-regulated firm offering investment and crypto services across Europe. As Junior Risk & Compliance Officer, you will work directly alongside - and report to - the Head of Risk & Compliance, supporting the day-to-day running of Vivid's risk and compliance framework. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with a strong financial-crime and market-surveillance core. You will own a defined set of recurring compliance activities, investigate alerts, prepare reporting and documentation, and escalate matters that require senior judgement. It is an ideal opportunity for an early-career professional who wants to build broad, practical second-line experience in a fast-growing investment and crypto business. As a member of a small team that also supports risk and compliance at Group level (such us the Luxembourg-based EMI entity, Vivid Money S.A.), you will gain exposure across entities and regulatory regimes.

Requirements

Around 1-3 years' experience in a risk, compliance or financial-crime role within a regulated financial institution.
A working knowledge of the rules relevant to an investment firm and crypto-asset service provider - in particular market abuse (MAR), MiFID II, MiCAR and AML/CFT (Wwft).
Familiarity with investment products and/or crypto-assets (e.g. equities, derivatives, FX, crypto).
An analytical, investigative mindset with the ability to reach and clearly document reasoned conclusions.
Strong attention to detail, well organised, and able to manage recurring tasks, forms and deadlines reliably.
Sound judgement, discretion and integrity when handling sensitive information.
Excellent written and spoken English; a second European language is a plus.
Alignment with our company values: you are customer-obsessed, unstoppable, an owner, and radically honest.
Based in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) or willing to relocate.

Nice To Haves

A second European language is a plus.

Responsibilities

Perform quality assurance reviews across Vivid's compliance activities as needed (e.g. transaction-monitoring alert handling).
Investigate trade-surveillance alerts and document the rationale for clearing or escalating them; refer complex cases, and any that may warrant a STOR, to the Head of Risk & Compliance.
Assist with financial-crime investigations and the preparation of unusual transaction reports to the FIU, gathering and analysing the relevant information.
Conduct adverse-media screening on vendors and counterparties to identify any news that could impact the business, and escalate material findings.
Administer the conflicts of interest and gifts process, including issuing declaration forms to relevant stakeholders, collecting responses and maintaining the register.
Help collect the data and inputs that feed Board reporting, under the direction of the Head of Risk & Compliance.
Assist with internal and external audits and regulatory reviews by preparing supporting documentation and evidence.
Support the wider Risk & Compliance team with registers, record-keeping and ad hoc projects as the business grows.
