  • Respond to law enforcement inquiries and regulatory requests as required.

Qualifications:

  • 2-5+ years of experience in AML investigations, financial crime compliance, risk management, or a related field within the financial services industry. Experience with correspondent banking, trade finance, or private banking is often a plus.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for report writing and stakeholder interaction.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).

  • Understanding of regional payment corridors and trade finance activities.
  • Exposure to high-net-worth individual (HNWI) client segments and associated AML risks.
