About this Role

We are seeking a Trade Compliance Screening Analyst to support Vodafone and VOIS in maintaining compliance with global Trade Compliance regulations.

What you’ll do

• Review screening hits generated by the screening solution, analysing data fields and identifiers that triggered potential or confirmed matches.

• Contribute to periodic reviews and continuous improvement of Trade Compliance screening processes.
• Execute data control activities to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to defined activity standards.
• Respond to queries promptly and accurately, ensuring systems and work databases are kept up to date.
• Undertake additional job-related tasks aligned to business needs, as assigned by the supervisor.

Who you are

• You bring 1–3 years of experience in sanctions screening, export controls, compliance, or financial crime prevention.
• You have working knowledge of sanctions, anti-bribery, or Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) checks and experience using compliance tools such as Dow Jones, D&B, World-Check, LexisNexis, or adverse media screening platforms.
• You demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to identify subtle discrepancies across multiple data sources.
• You apply strong analytical and critical thinking skills to structured decision-making.
• You are comfortable working methodically in a high-volume environment while maintaining consistency and precision.
• Desirable qualifications include ICA, CGSS, CAMS, or similar compliance-related certifications, and experience in a shared services or telecommunications environment.
