Descripción de la vacante

LatamCent is seeking an AML investigator to backfill a payments platform's financial crime program. You will manage a full caseload from day one across crypto and fiat, escalating or clearing alerts with documented rationale.

By month six you should draft SAR narratives independently and feed patterns into detection rules. The role offers real ownership over investigations and collaboration with onboarding, risk, legal, and data teams.

Formación

• 2–4 years in AML or CFT investigations, with at least 2 years directly in sanctions or AML work.
• Fintech experience; early stage fintech background is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with a transaction monitoring system and a case management tool, not just exposure to one.
• Practical experience with at least one blockchain analytics platform such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or Elliptic, including what you traced with it.
• Familiarity with BSA and FinCEN guidance, EU AML directives and MiCA, and FATF recommendations including the Travel Rule.
• A track record of writing SAR narratives yourself, not supporting someone else’s filing.
• Full professional English.

Responsabilidades

• Carry a caseload of transaction monitoring alerts across crypto and fiat rails, deciding to escalate or clear each one with a documented rationale.
• Trace funds across multiple blockchains, surfacing exposure to mixers, sanctioned wallets, darknet markets, and high risk exchanges.
• Reconcile on-chain findings against KYC, KYB, and fiat banking records to reach a defensible conclusion on incomplete information.
• Draft SAR narratives and supporting evidence that hold up without heavy rework from the compliance lead.
• Disposition sanctions and adverse media alerts, including wallet screening, and escalate true matches with a recommended account action.
• Spot recurring typologies or false positive patterns and push them back into the monitoring rules and risk scoring.
• Build working relationships across onboarding, legal, risk, data, and support so investigations move without friction.
