Nucleus Financial
Date: 5 hours ago
City: Edinburgh
Contract type: Full time
Work schedule: Full day
About The Role
As a Financial Crime Analyst you will play an important role in helping the business to limit our exposure to fraud and money laundering activities through regular client and adviser monitoring. The Financial Crime team play a critical role at the heart of our business stopping and preventing financial crime. Joining a small team, you will work closely with the Senior Analysts to ensure accurate and timely oversight of BAU monitoring processes. You will have the ability to think laterally and apply judgement. You will analyse activities as part of our Financial Crime Conduct oversight, including gifts and hospitality, conflicts of interest and personal account dealing. This role is a great opportunity to someone interested in a start within Financial Crime
Key Accountabilities
We are the Nucleus Financial Platforms group and we help make retirement more rewarding. Here at Nucleus, people come first - whether it’s our colleagues, or the advisers and customers we support, we know that working in partnership and collaboration leads to the best outcomes. Together, we’ve shaped the platform to how it is today. We work hard, and we celebrate hard too.
Our ambition is to create a platform with a difference, putting the customer centre stage meant tearing up the rule book and starting from scratch. We’ve come a long way since then, but our mission remains just as focused. That’s why our culture, values, and social responsibility are things we keep at the top of our agenda – because we know they matter and have a big impact.
Our culture is one of the many things that sets us apart from the pack. We want to have an environment where our people feel that they can make a real difference, know they’ll be rewarded for their efforts and more importantly, enjoy themselves at work.

Inclusion and diversity at Nucleus
As with most things in life, who cares, wins. We really care about inclusion.
For us it’s not a tick box exercise; inclusion and diversity are embedded in our culture and everything we do. It’s a commercial imperative. It isn’t about being PC. It’s about being future-relevant and durable. We owe it to ourselves and the industry to ensure we are playing our part in creating a fair, balanced and transparent financial services sector.
More diversity means broader experience, a wider set of perspectives and a better collective ability to problem-solve. And it means being more representative of customer groups, which supports areas such as product development.
At Nucleus, we offer a generous blend of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including a non-contributory pension, bonus, enhanced parental leave, paid time off for emergencies, health and wellbeing initiatives and flexible working options.
