About the role

Our Financial Crime team blends regulatory expertise with data-driven thinking to make sure our products meet legal and policy requirements and deliver real value to customers.

To support our 24/7 coverage, this role may include night and weekend shifts, which are fully compensated.

What you'll be doing

• Investigating customer activity, using transaction monitoring systems to identify red-flag patterns, such as structuring, layering, and unusual cross-border flows
• Conducting deep-dive research using open-source intelligence (OSINT) and adverse media tools to assess the reputational and FinCrime risk associated with high-risk individuals and businesses
• Validating the legitimacy of wealth and fund origins by analysing documentation to ensure they align with the customer’s known profile
• Drafting high-quality unusual activity reports
• Providing guidance on high-risk onboarding decisions, and recommending client relationships exits when activity falls outside risk appetite
• Supporting other teams with front-line compliance expertise
• Contributing to the calibration of monitoring rules and threshold settings to reduce false positives while ensuring the detection of evolving criminal typologies

What you’ll need

• A bachelor's degree (must be able to provide a certificate)
• Fluency in English and Spanish (C1+ level)
• 2+ years of FinCrime experience, or 1+ years of experience in AML, FIU, or similar complex investigation fields where a risk-based approach is used
• An understanding of financial crime red flags and typologies, and how to identify them
• Experience redacting and submitting suspicious activity reports
• Familiarity with investigative methodologies, with knowledge of analytical tools (e.g., spreadsheets, filters, pivots, network charts)
• A willingness to work a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends
• Critical thinking skills and impeccable attention to detail
• The ability to multitask, prioritise, and work well under pressure

Nice to have
