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-driven screening platform continues to meet the highest standards of accuracy, regulatory relevance, and real-world usability.
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and data teams to evaluate adverse media, PEPs, and sanctions matches; provide training feedback to improve our AI models; and help define best practices for risk-based decision-making.
What You’ll Do
Review and decision adverse media, PEP, and sanctions alerts, ensuring accurate classification and documentation.
Conduct quality assurance on outputs generated by our AI agents and flag areas for improvement or further training.
Identify false positives and risk-relevant patterns in entity data to help tune and refine screening logic.
Collaborate with engineers and product managers to iterate on platform workflows and product features.
Stay current with evolving sanctions regimes, regulatory expectations (e.g., OFSI, OFAC, EU, UN), and typologies relevant to financial crime.
Support client success teams in explaining risk decisions and interpreting alert outputs for customers.
Contribute to internal knowledge bases and playbooks, improving decision-making consistency across the team.
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.
