mainly you would be handling account openings by RMs. Every quarter/month there would be samples picked for periodic reviews. Other ad-hoc duties will include answering compliance queries by front office people and clearing alerts generated by system.

people get in via different routes. Some join straight after graduating in perm roles (previously had intership done with compliance dept). Others join as contract staff assisting in kyc/aml procedures (eg. background checks) before getting converted. The rest join from different functions like ops, risk mgmt, IA or even external audit.

hope it helps
