AML/CTF and Compliance Analyst

McCullough Robertson, a leading Australian law firm with a century-long history, is seeking an AML/CTF and Compliance Analyst to join their Risk and Compliance team in Brisbane. This role is integral to ensuring the firm meets its obligations under Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) regulations and supports the firm's conflicts management and matter intake processes.

The primary responsibilities include conducting and overseeing Customer Due Diligence (CDD) in line with the firm's AML/CTF program.

Additionally, the role encompasses assisting with conflicts search reports, implementing information barriers, and supporting matter opening and related intake tasks.

The ideal candidate will have experience handling CDD/KYC or other aspects of AML/CTF compliance, conflicts of interest, or similar compliance issues within a legal, financial services, or professional services environment. Proficiency with compliance or practice management software, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication abilities, and the capacity to manage competing deadlines are essential.

McCullough Robertson offers a supportive work environment with benefits such as a dedicated diversity committee, further education programs, mentoring and sponsorship opportunities, a holistic health and wellbeing program, and in-house barista services. The firm is committed to diversity and inclusion, having received the Employer of Choice for Gender Equality citation for ten consecutive years and the Diversity Law Firm of the Year award from Lawyers Weekly.
