About the Role

Conduct Investigations into Suspicious Transactions
- Thoroughly investigate flagged accounts/transactions using structured frameworks
- Document findings for regulatory reporting (e.g., SARs)
- Escalate cases based on identified red flags (e.g., structuring, layering)
Collaborate to Enhance Detection Systems
- Work cross-functionally to improve detection tools using:
- Reverse engineering cases to refine rules (e.g., tweaking thresholds)
- Integrating data from multiple teams (compliance, fraud, customer service)
Report Comprehensive Findings
- Prepare detailed reports with evidence, analysis, and recommended actions (e.g., terminations, legal referrals)
- Ensure alignment with global standards (e.g., FATF, FinCEN)
