Join us as a Customer Onboarding Officer to help scale Qonto's Italian market. You'll conduct deep-dive account validations in strict compliance with Bank of Italy guidelines, tackling a significant operational backlog while maintaining high quality standards. You will report to Alessandro Pesapane, Team Lead KYC-B Operations Italy. ➡️ What you'll do Validate customer and company profiles: Conduct thorough manual validations (15-20 per day) to determine account eligibility — analysing structures, beneficial owners, and business models. Review complex KYC/KYB documentation: Verify passports, IDs, company registration documents, and financial statements across the customer lifecycle. Draft detailed analytical reports: Write comprehensive, structured justifications for each acceptance or rejection decision — Bank of Italy guidelines applied meticulously. Support the frontline team: Provide direct operational guidance to our level one (DTO) team on complex cases they cannot resolve. Maintain operational cadence: Process accounts efficiently to clear the backlog while upholding quality standards — speed and rigour, not one at the expense of the other. ➡️ What we're looking for Operational experience in KYC/compliance: 1-2 years in customer care, KYC/KYB, or compliance — ideally in fintech or a fast-paced environment. You've reviewed real documentation, not just studied the theory. Compliance mindset: Strong attention to detail and completely comfortable reviewing complex legal and financial documentation. You follow regulatory guidelines to the letter. Analytical writing: You write detailed, structured analyses to justify your decisions. Clear reasoning on paper is as important as the decision itself.
