Overview

Tazapay is hiring a Financial Crime Forensic Analyst to support complex investigations, law enforcement coordination, and reactive forensic requests. This is a high-impact role designed for someone with a strong analytical mindset and a natural inclination for getting to the bottom of things. You’ll help identify, investigate, and document potential financial crime issues, and provide support in responding to regulators and enforcement agencies.

Key Responsibilities

Complex Investigations, Forensic Analysis & Reactive Requests

• Work on deep-dive investigations related to ad hoc or escalated suspicious or high-risk transactions and merchant behaviour.
• Trace fund flows (fiat and stablecoin) to identify anomalies or inconsistencies.
• Collate findings into internal case notes and reports with clear rationale and risk assessment.

Law Enforcement & Regulator Liaison

• Act as the first response to production orders, RFIs, and information requests from FIUs and law enforcement bodies.
• Coordinate closely with the Head of FCC and other relevant stakeholders to prepare defensible responses and ensure deadlines are met.
• Maintain a record of requests and ensure evidence is well-documented and stored appropriately.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Support other FCC functions (e.g. Transaction Monitoring, Onboarding, Legal) in reviewing suspicious activity and preparing compliance escalations.
• Contribute to the refinement of investigative processes and documentation standards.

Other Responsibilities

• Perform ad hoc tasks as applicable, particularly in response to emerging risks, internal escalations, or urgent regulatory needs.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 5-7 years of experience in financial crime compliance, investigations, or forensic analysis, preferably in fintech, PSPs, MSBs, or financial institutions.
• Experience drafting or filing STRs/SARs as part of a regional team or a global team.
• Understanding of AML/CFT regulations and risk typologies relevant to cross-border payments or crypto/stablecoin ecosystems.
• Hands-on experience drafting reports for regulatory or enforcement bodies.
• Comfortable with tracing transactions, reviewing documentation, and identifying inconsistencies or red flags.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in drafting concise investigative notes or regulator-facing documentation.
• Familiarity with investigative or crypto risk tools (e.g. Elliptic, Chainalysis, ComplyAdvantage) is an advantage.

Preferred Attributes

• Flexible, detail-oriented, and unafraid to ask questions.
• Ability to absorb new information and reassess prior conclusions, applying sound judgment when determining if investigative outcomes or compliance positions should be updated.
• Comfortable working in an agile, evolving environment.
• Team player with strong communication skills and the ability to work across teams.
