Assist the Manager Transaction Monitoring in building periodic specific and general reports providing analysis that identifies ML, TF and Sanctions related anomalies for the information of the Chief Compliance Officer and relevant Product Managers.
As a member of the Transaction Monitoring Team, report directly to the Manager of Transaction Monitoring. Also, work closely with other Bitfinex teams and peer AML Investigators in addressing both fraud, and money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions risks.
