Compliance Specialist - Operations & Risk

Here is how the Compliance Specialist role will impact our business:

As a key member of EQT's Compliance Operations & Risk team, the Compliance Specialist will execute day-to-day Know Your Customer (KYC) operations within EQT's Third Party Diligence program for LNG & LPG counterparties and approved high-risk exceptions — tracking diligence requests, resolving missing counterparty documentation, and performing sanctions screening and Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and supporting Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). This role is responsible for maintaining scalable, consistent throughput on high-volume, recurring diligence obligations, administering Compliance Operations & Risk case intake and reporting, and maintaining data quality in EQT's compliance systems (Salesforce). As the Third Party Diligence program matures, the role will expand to executing compliance control testing.

• Administer intake, logging, and triage of Compliance Operations & Risk cases, maintaining case records for completeness, accuracy, and audit readiness.

As the Third Party Diligence program matures, responsibilities will expand to include:

• Execute compliance control tests under the Compliance Operations & Risk control testing process, documenting test results and supporting evidence.
