Risk Analyst, AML

Hi, we’re PEXA

Every time a house is bought, sold or refinanced in Australia your lawyer, conveyancer and lender will most likely use a digital platform to settle your property, this is where we come in. PEXA’s world-first digital settlement platform has revolutionised the way we exchange property in Australia helping over 20,000 people a week safely settle their homes.

Since starting our journey in 2010, we now employ a team of over 1,000 people working across multiple continents. We’re still growing, innovating and looking ahead, but behind our greatest achievements, there is a team of curious creators and big thinkers. That’s why, we’re looking for ambitious people like yourself to join the team.

A day in the life

In this role, your day will balance hands-on AML operations with shaping how things work behind the scenes. You’ll spend time reviewing onboarding cases, working through screening alerts (sanctions, PEP and adverse media), and assessing KYB outcomes. Especially where corporate structures or beneficial ownership get complex. You’ll manage your own queue, prioritising tasks to meet service levels while making sound, risk-based decisions. When something doesn’t look right, you’ll dig deeper, apply judgement, and escalate where needed.

Alongside this, you’ll help improve how the work gets done. You might document a new workflow, refine a process, or contribute to testing (UAT) to make sure systems and controls are working as expected before go-live. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Risk, Product, Technology and Operations, sharing insights, resolving issues, and helping ensure processes remain practical, compliant and easy to follow. Over time, you’ll start to spot patterns, identify opportunities for improvement, and play a key role in making our AML capability stronger and more efficient.

Someone who enjoys both doing the work and improving how it’s done.
