Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to identify patterns across large volumes of transactional information. Ability to independently assess alerts, investigate complex activity, and make practical, well-supported decisions. Familiarity with transaction monitoring, KYT, blockchain investigations, AML controls, suspicious activity reporting, and financial crime risk indicators. ACAMS, ACFCS, ICA, or a comparable financial crime/compliance accreditation is preferred. Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to explain complex or technical findings clearly to different audiences.
