Do work that matters

Join our KYC Refresh team and play a critical role in protecting our customers and the financial system from financial crime. This is a fast-paced contact centre environment where you'll spend much of your day engaging with customers through inbound and outbound phone conversations to collect, verify and update important customer information.

As a Customer Lifecycle Analyst, you'll combine customer service excellence with compliance expertise, ensuring customer records remain accurate, complete and compliant with regulatory requirements. You'll conduct customer due diligence activities, resolve KYC refresh requirements, and help prevent financial crime through effective Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.

You will thrive in this role if you enjoy speaking with customers, building rapport over the phone, solving problems, and working towards both customer and operational performance targets while maintaining high levels of accuracy and compliance.

• Maintain high levels of accuracy and quality in all customer and case handling activities.
• Accurately record customer interactions, findings and decisions within relevant systems.
