KYC Officer - Client Due Diligence (f/m/d)

Job description

Your career at Deutsche Börse Group

Your area of work

Step into the frontline of global financial integrity. As part of the Client Due Diligence (CDD) team within Trading & Clearing, you act as a critical first line of defense, safeguarding Deutsche Börse Group across international markets. You will take end-to-end ownership of Know Your Customer (KYC) lifecycles—from high-profile client onboarding to risk evaluation against our AML framework. In this role, you don't just follow checklists; you navigate complex corporate structures, shape robust compliance standards, and directly protect our reputation as a leading global market infrastructure provider.

Your responsibilities

Drive end-to-end KYC reviews for initial onboarding and ongoing periodic assessments in line with group-wide AML directives. Analyze and verify customer documentation, unraveling complex ownership chains and ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) structures. Serve as a go-to operational escalation point, mentoring colleagues and resolving challenging, high-risk KYC cases. Partner closely with Compliance, Business teams, and external clients to steer seamless onboarding and mitigate risk.

Evaluate customer risk profiles to ensure alignment with DBG’s AML risk appetite. Co-lead process improvements and test next-generation KYC digital tools to maximize workflow automation and efficiency.

Your profile

University degree in Business Administration, Law, Finance, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience). 3+ years of proven track record in AML, KYC, CDD, or Compliance operations within financial services. Sharp analytical mindset with a natural curiosity for deconstructing intricate cross-border ownership networks. Confident communication and stakeholder management skills—comfortable engaging with senior business partners and clients.

Tech-savvy mindset with an appetite to master and optimize KYC systems and workflows. Business-fluent English (spoken and written); additional languages are an asset. Proactive mindset, high personal integrity, and a true team-player spirit.
