Join us as an AML Intern in Milan to help keep Qonto and 600,000+ European SMEs protected from financial crime. You'll work at the heart of our Anti-Money Laundering operations in Italy — from management reporting to Transaction Monitoring alert pre-qualification — under the guidance of Alessandro, our AML Lead for Italy.

➡️ What you'll do

• Own management reporting: Deliver accurate, on-time reports for Top Management and support the team's transition from central to local reporting.

• Keep remediation on track: Maintain the remediation tracker and follow up proactively on action items to ensure timely closure.

• Pre-qualify Transaction Monitoring alerts: Work the FIFO queue — compile case information per procedure and decide to close at AML level or escalate to seniors.

• Contribute to AML initiatives: Support ad hoc projects and AI-enabled alert pre-qualification with increasing autonomy as your ramp-up progresses.

➡️ What we're looking for

• Analytical rigour: You structure your thinking, spot inconsistencies fast, and document your decisions clearly.

• Proactive mindset: You are curious and motivated to investigate complex situations.

• Coachability: You actively seek feedback, implement it quickly, and reflect on mistakes without getting defensive.

• Clear written communication: You write concise summaries, flag risk signals, and escalate with well-reasoned rationale.

• Bilingual in English and Italian: Full fluency in both is a prerequisite for this role.

• AI openness: You're comfortable experimenting with AI tools in your daily work and curious about how far they can take you.

➡️ What you'll get

• Real operational exposure from day one: You'll work on live AML cases — actual alert analysis that feeds real decisions, not just observation.

• Dedicated support to ramp up fast: A senior mentor assigned from the start, weekly 1:1s with your manager, and a team that genuinely invests in your growth.

• A front-row seat to compliance in a high-growth fintech: AI-assisted pre-qualification, evolving regulation, new markets — you'll be in the middle of it all.

➡️ Your future manager

You'll report to Alessandro Scandolara, our AML Lead for Italy. Alessandro leads a bottom-up team — he wants people who speak up and bring ideas, not just execute. He runs weekly 1:1s with interns and assigns a dedicated senior mentor from day one so your ramp-up is structured, supported, and fast.

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.
