Join our Anti-Financial Crime team as an AFC Officer to investigate suspicious transactions and file Suspicious Activity Reports directly with Tracfin, France's financial intelligence unit. You will report to Garance, our Lead Anti-Financial Crime Unit (France). Every report you write reaches French authorities — your work directly shapes Qonto's regulatory standing and protects our users.
➡️ What you'll do
Investigate & report: Draft high-quality Enhanced Investigations (EIs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for Tracfin, covering AML, tax fraud, and private scams cases.
Handle escalated alerts: Take ownership of cases escalated by our first line of defence teams, identifying money laundering patterns and fraud attempts with precision.
Own your quality standards: Ensure every investigation meets our internal benchmarks and regulatory deadlines — quality and speed are both non-negotiable here.
Improve detection tools: Contribute to team projects that sharpen our detection capabilities, from flagging new fraud typologies to refining operational processes.
Share knowledge: Identify emerging fraud trends and feed insights back to the team, building a shared knowledge base that makes everyone sharper.
➡️ What we're looking for
Fluent French writer: You write in French at C2 level — flawless spelling, grammar, and syntax are essential because your reports go directly to French authorities. You also operate in English at C1 level for internal communication.
Legal or financial background: You hold a Master's in Law (Business Law, Criminal Law, Compliance) or Banking/Finance — the regulatory literacy this role requires.
AFC or compliance experience: You have a first experience in Anti-Financial Crime, Compliance, or Fraud — or a strong, demonstrable interest backed by coursework or concrete exposure.
Detail-oriented mindset: You synthesize complex transaction patterns into clear, concise written reports under time pressure, without sacrificing accuracy.
Genuine interest in fraud: You're specifically curious about private scam mechanisms — you want to understand how they work, not just flag them.
➡️ What we can offer you
Direct regulatory impact: Your SARs go to Tracfin. This isn't internal reporting — your work reaches France's financial intelligence unit and carries real compliance weight.
Case variety across all AFC typologies: You'll work across AML, tax fraud, and scams cases, building a strong generalist AFC skillset while deepening your expertise in private scams — a fast-growing focus area for the team.
A high-volume, high-quality environment: You'll handle a significant caseload using Qonto's proprietary back-office tools and Slack. Maintaining quality at pace is a genuine professional development constraint — not marketing copy.
Close team with structured support: You'll join a tight AFC team with weekly group meetings and regular 1:1s with Garance. The team is hands-on and actively invested in each person's progression.
A visible career path: Garance progressed from Junior to Senior to Lead within Qonto's AFC team. The trajectory exists and is actively encouraged.
➡️ Your future manager
Your manager will be Garance, our Lead Anti-Financial Crime Unit (France).
Her path? Garance holds a Master's in Criminal Law and Criminal Sciences, and joined Qonto in 2023. She progressed rapidly through Junior and Senior Officer roles before being promoted to Lead — a track record built on both technical depth and team results.
What does she bring to the team? Garance is a hands-on manager who values transparency and gives her team genuine autonomy. She's committed to each person's development and looks for people who are as focused on quality as they are on speed.
At Qonto we understand that true diversity isn't just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick! Who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we've been searching for all along.
