About the Position

Introduction

Binance, a leading global blockchain ecosystem, is seeking a Controls Testing & QA Specialist to join our team in Australia. This role focuses on independently designing and executing a periodic controls testing plan across AML/CTF compliance workflows, with a strong emphasis on AUSTRAC obligations and regulatory expectations. You will be instrumental in assessing control design and operating effectiveness, producing clear management information (MI) and governance reporting, and driving timely remediation with key stakeholders. This position operates with appropriate independence from day-to-day operational processing.

Responsibilities

Controls Testing & Assurance:
- Design and execute a periodic controls testing plan (monthly/quarterly/annual) aligned to Binance Australia’s AML/CTF Program, SOPs, control library, and risk priorities.
- Maintain and enhance the controls testing methodology (scope, sampling approach, evidence standards, pass/fail criteria, exception rating, documentation requirements).
- Conduct frequent controls testing using defined test scripts and develop/improve scripts where gaps are identified.
- Evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, document test results, and clearly articulate exceptions, root causes, and risk impact.
- Perform thematic reviews and emerging risk testing (e.g., new products, typologies, policy changes, AUSTRAC guidance updates).
Coverage Across Core AML/CTF Workflows (Including Reporting):
- Perform QA and controls testing across onboarding/KYC (CDD/EDD), ongoing customer due diligence, PEP/sanctions screening, transaction monitoring and investigations/case management, and record-keeping.
- Perform QA over regulatory reporting controls and workflow effectiveness, including SMR quality/timeliness, and where applicable, TTR and IFTI reporting completeness, accuracy, and submission timelines (including escalation and decisioning controls).
Reporting, MI & Governance:
- Draft periodic QA/controls testing MI dashboards and presentations (trends, recurring issues, remediation progress, control health indicators).
- Communicate testing outcomes, recommendations, and control enhancement opportunities to Compliance, Operations, Product, and other stakeholders.
- Maintain a structured issues and remediation tracker, validate closure evidence, and re-test to confirm remediation effectiveness.
- Support audit and regulatory readiness by maintaining well-organised evidence packs and responding to information requests.
Continuous Improvement & Stakeholder Management:
- Partner with process owners to improve control design, operational execution, and system configuration.
- Provide feedback to the function lead on improvements to the testing plan, scripts, MI reporting, and exception management approach.
- Promote consistent, well-documented, and repeatable control execution practices.

Requirements

3-5+ years of experience in AML/CTF compliance, QA, controls testing/monitoring, assurance, or internal audit within financial services, payments, fintech, or digital assets.
Demonstrated experience with AUSTRAC-focused AML/CTF obligations and practical exposure to AML/CTF Programs and regulatory expectations.
Proven ability to perform controls testing across CDD/EDD, screening, transaction monitoring/investigations, and SMR reporting QA.
Strong knowledge of control testing concepts: design vs. operating effectiveness, sampling, evidence standards, exception grading, root-cause analysis, remediation validation.
Strong analytical capability and attention to detail; ability to translate findings into concise, actionable recommendations.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to influence stakeholders and present governance-ready reporting.
Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Slides; comfortable working with compliance tooling and case management systems.

Nice to Have

Experience in digital assets/crypto exchange compliance and relevant typologies (fraud, mule activity, layering, chain-hopping, sanctions evasion).
Familiarity with transaction monitoring and screening tools, KYC vendor solutions, and workflow/case management platforms.
Certifications such as CAMS, ICA, CA AML/CTF, or their equivalents.

Benefits

Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure.
Tackle unique, fast-paced projects with autonomy in an innovative environment.
Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning.
