## Description

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented compliance professional to join our APAC General Counsel’s Office (GCO) in Melbourne.

In this full-time Compliance Analyst role, you will support compliance and risk management activities across our Australian and international offices.

Working closely with partners, lawyers, legal support professionals and business services teams across APAC and the UK, you will assist with the onboarding of new clients and matters, ensuring regulatory requirements are met and potential risks are identified and managed effectively.

**Responsibilities**

As a Compliance Analyst, your day-to-day will include:

- Conducting conflict checks and clearing basic conflicts of interest

- Performing anti-money laundering (AML) checks in accordance with applicable legislation and firm policies

- Undertaking business intelligence research using databases such as World-Check and publicly available sources

- Verifying client and matter information provided by partners, lawyers and support teams

- Implementing information barriers where required

- Responding to compliance-related enquiries from internal stakeholders

- Liaising with the Risk team to analyse and resolve potential conflicts issues

- Participating in team meetings, training sessions and special projects

**About You**

To be successful in this role, you will have a genuine interest in compliance and risk management and thrive in a fast-paced, professional environment.

You will also demonstrate:

- 1-4 years' experience in a compliance, risk, administrative or similar role within a law firm or professional services environment

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills

- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy

- Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to gather, assess and present information from multiple sources

- Experience using intake and compliance systems such as Intapp and World-Check (desirable)

- The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment

- A professional, resilient and solutions-focused approach

- Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills

- The ability to effectively manage competing priorities and meet deadlines

- Mandarin language skills, both written and verbal (advantageous)

**Why join Pinsent Masons?**

- We have a global reach and a local feel. With 31 offices and 1500 lawyers operating across Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, you'll be exposed to domestic, international and multi-jurisdictional high-profile work, yet be in an office where everyone knows your name.

- We do things a bit differently. Legal services are at the core of our business; however, we have diversified into other areas providing complimentary services to clients through offerings like Brook Graham and Vario flexible services.

- We like to be flexible. Our firm is professional but also relaxed, you can dress for your day and in your own style. We also promote practices that support wellbeing, mental wellness and work/life balance so that everyone can thrive at work and at home.

- We're lots of fun and very inclusive. Proud of our leading reputation for diversity and inclusion, we have created an open environment where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to participate in, and even run, social activities, diversity and inclusion networks, and charitable initiatives.
