Arva AI is revolutionising financial crime intelligence with our cutting-edge AI Agents. By automating manual human review tasks, we enhance operational efficiency and help financial institutions handle AML reviews, while cutting operational costs by 80%.
About the Role
We’re looking for an AML Product Officer with 3+ years of experience in financial crime compliance to join our team in London. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our AI Agents continue to meet the highest standards of accuracy, regulatory relevance, and real-world usability.
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and data teams; provide training feedback to improve our AI models; and help define best practices for risk-based decision-making.
What You’ll Do
Test and validate the AML product to ensure performance, accuracy, and alignment with real-world use cases across screening, CDD, EDD, and transaction monitoring.
Review alert cases and outputs, helping shape decision quality and consistency.
Develop and maintain benchmarking frameworks to measure product effectiveness and push us toward becoming the state-of-the-art (SOTA) system in AML.
Proactively contribute to the product roadmap by identifying gaps, surfacing insights from frontline testing, and collaborating with engineers and product managers on key features.
Research and interpret global AML/CFT regulations and practices to guide product decisions and ensure market readiness.
Join sales conversations as a product expert, particularly with risk and compliance stakeholders, helping articulate how our system meets evolving AML needs.
Support customer success teams in explaining alert decisions and helping clients get the most out of the platform.
Our Culture
At Arva AI, we are driven by three core principles:
1. Deliver Value Fast
Speed + ownership is our superpower. We value action over perfection. We're not afraid to get our hands dirty, experiment, and iterate quickly to achieve our goals, and completely own the outcome.
2. Customer First, Team Second, Self Last
Our priority is creating value for our customers. We then focus on building a supportive, growth-oriented team environment, putting individual needs last to ensure collective success.
3. Transparency
We believe in open communication and full visibility across teams and roles. Decisions, successes, and failures are shared openly to foster trust and collaboration.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 3+ years working in AML, sanctions screening, or a related compliance role within a regulated financial institution, fintech, or regtech company.
Knowledge of sanctions regimes (OFSI, OFAC, EU, UN) and exposure to PEP/adverse media screening workflows.
Analytical mindset with strong written communication skills for documenting decisions and justifications.
Familiarity with case management systems or screening platforms (e.g., WorldCheck, ComplyAdvantage, LexisNexis, etc.) is a plus.
Comfort with technology: You don’t need to code, but you should be tech-savvy and excited to work with cutting-edge AI tools.
Proactive and detail-oriented, with a mindset of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Why Join Us?
Be part of an early-stage startup with significant ownership and influence over the AI strategy.
Work on cutting-edge AI technologies that transform how businesses operate.
Collaborate with a passionate, mission-driven team dedicated to innovation.
Work from anywhere in the world for 4 weeks a year, in addition to regular team off-sites.
Competitive salary and equity package, with bi-annual salary review and yearly performance based equity refresh.
