Descripción De La Posición

Role Overview

The AML/ Transaction Monitoring Analyst plays a key role in the prevention and detection of financial crime through proactive transaction monitoring and investigative analysis. The role covers both Consumer and Partner business segments, involving end-to-end case handling - from initial alert review to disposition, escalation, and preparation of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs)- ensuring full compliance with internal policies and global AML regulations.

This is not a KYC/Onboarding role; Candidates must demonstrate hands-on experience in transactional monitoring analysis, alert investigations and case documentation within an AML operations environment, having worked for financial institutions in Europe.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and analyze transactional activity triggered by automated monitoring systems or manual referrals to identify patterns indicative of potential money laundering, fraud, or terrorist financing.

  • Conduct end-to-end AML case investigations — gathering data, performing transactional analysis, corroborating findings through public and internal sources, and recommending disposition (e.g., escalation, closure, or SAR filing).

  • Prepare high-quality case narratives and supporting documentation for internal escalation or submission of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in accordance with regulatory timelines and internal quality standards.

  • Perform background checks and contextual research on counterparties and entities linked to alerts, using both public and subscription databases (e.g.,     , LexisNexis).

  • Maintain clear audit trails and ensure all investigative steps, conclusions, and rationales are accurately captured in case management systems.

  • Collaborate with Quality Control and Quality Assurance to ensure investigations meet internal policies, procedures and regulatory expectations.

  • Participate in periodic refresh reviews and identify new red flags or typologies through ongoing analysis of customer behavior.

  • Proactively identify process improvements and suggest control enhancements to strengthen AML detection and reporting capabilities.
