• Analyse alerts and escalate cases in line with internal procedures and regulatory expectations.
• Draft and submit Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to relevant authorities.
• Provide subject matter expertise on AML regulations and compliance expectations.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of AML systems, controls, and processes.
• Stay current with AML regulations, system capabilities, and industry best practices.

What you'll need to succeed
• Proven experience in an AML Analyst or Financial Crime role within banking, fintech, or consultancy.
• Strong understanding of AML systems architecture, integration processes, and vendor management.
• Experience documenting requirements and defining test scenarios for AML systems.
• Familiarity with UK AML regulations, including the Money Laundering Regulations, JMLSG guidance, and FCA expectations.
• Experience working with transaction monitoring and case management platforms.
• Excellent analytical, investigative, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
• High energy and a proactive approach to delivering results quickly and effectively.

Desirable:
• Experience with system implementation or migration projects in a financial crime context.
• Exposure to digital banking or savings institutions.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., ICA, ACAMS) are a plus.
