• Process Optimization: Proactively identify bottlenecks in the client’s automated monitoring systems or manual investigation processes and propose data-driven improvements to increase detection efficiency.

• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for project leads at banks, insurers, or asset managers, reporting on project progress and defending findings during compliance committee meetings.
