Job Description



The KYC Analyst will be a part of the central Due Diligence team supporting all Vitol offices in delivering the KYC policy and related procedures and controls. This is not a typical, process-driven KYC role; it requires applying a rigorous, risk-based approach where analysis and judgment is valued over box-ticking. The KYC Analyst will support counterparty onboarding and respond to counterparty requests for information about Vitol. As a member of the global KYC team, the KYC Analyst will have accountability for enacting Vitol’s KYC standards in consultation with the global KYC Manager and local Compliance team. This role offers an opportunity to support and learn about all aspects of Vitol’s business.

Job duties include:

  • Performing assigned tasks as part of on-boarding, regular and event-driven review of counterparts
  • Conduct Sanctions, PEP and Adverse Media screening in accordance with Vitol procedures and escalate accordingly
  • Collect and verify information and documentation obtained
  • Where valid reasons exist to deviate from KYC standard documentation ensure the rationale is appropriately documented and approved, clearly stating identified risks and mitigating factors
  • Manage case load and take ownership by tracking with business owners to ensure cases complete in a timely manner
  • Liaise with business owners and management to clarify, investigate, escalate and resolve issues as they arise
  • Document outcomes of due diligence performed
  • Working together with the global Compliance team

Qualifications

  • Successful candidates will have at least 2 years of experience in due diligence, preferably in a similar industry or a commercially-focused environment

  • Strong critical reading and independent research capability
  • Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

  • Language skills in Spanish and/or Portuguese are an advantage but not essential

Personal Characteristics

  • An investigative nature; highly responsive, proactive, and intellectually curious with a drive to uncover the facts
  • A confident self-starter with excellent organizational skills, a powerful sense of ownership, and the ability to deliver on priorities in a fast-paced, demanding environment
  • A strong relationship builder with the credibility to partner with, and influence, front office stakeholders
  • Solution and results-oriented with a common-sense approach
