This is an exciting opportunity for a contractor or independent consultant with hands-on experience in AML analytics, a solid grasp of financial crime compliance, and a deep understanding of data manipulation and reporting.

Key Responsibilities
  • Partner with client teams to assess existing AML systems, analytics tools, and monitoring models.
  • Develop, optimize, and test transaction monitoring rules using SQL and data analytics tools.
  • Extract, transform, and analyze large datasets to detect suspicious patterns or unusual behavior.
  • Assist in the development of dashboards, reporting tools, and data visualizations to present key AML insights.
  • Translate regulatory and risk requirements into technical data solutions.
  • Provide advisory support on AML system tuning, calibration, and effectiveness reviews.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including compliance, risk, IT, and business units.
  • Deliver clear documentation and findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key Requirements
  • Proven experience in AML/Financial Crime analytics, ideally within consulting or large financial institutions.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience handling large datasets across multiple systems.
  • Proficiency in tools such as Python, R, SAS, or similar (desirable but not required).
  • Experience with transaction monitoring systems (Actimize, FICO, SAS AML, etc.) is a plus.
  • Deep understanding of AML regulations, typologies, and industry standards.
  • Strong analytical thinking with the ability to solve complex problems using data.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, or a related field.
  • Certifications in AML (e.g., CAMS) or related compliance frameworks are advantageous.

What We Offer
  • Opportunity to work with globally recognized financial institutions.
  • A dynamic and collaborative consulting environment.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • Exposure to innovative AML technologies and strategic projects.
