  • Robust ETL capabilities, ideally with SSIS, Azure Data Factory (ADF), Databricks or Alteryx
  • Strong Power BI skills for interactive dashboards, data models, and executive-level reporting; Tableau experience is a plus
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably Azure) and working with AML data infrastructure in cloud environments
  • Strong understanding of AML typologies such as structuring, layering, and trade-based money laundering
  • Excellent communication skills, able to present complex findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders and team members
  • Ability to self-manage multiple workstreams independently in a fast-paced, client-facing environment
  • Strong mentorship instincts with a track record of elevating junior team members
  • Prior experience at a major financial institution or financial crimes consulting firm
  • Experience with Alteryx for data blending, workflow automation, and advanced analytics
  • Familiarity with major AML platforms such as Actimize, Oracle FCCM, or NICE

Job responsibilities

  • Analyze transactions, accounts, customer profiles, alerts, and third-party data to identify suspicious patterns, anomalies, and emerging risks
  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries and Python scripts to extract, manipulate, and analyze large financial datasets hands-on
  • Design and implement financial crime detection models, scenarios, and rule sets tailored to AML typologies
  • Conduct root cause analyses on financial crime incidents to improve detection accuracy and prevention strategies
  • Build and maintain ETL pipelines to ingest, clean, and validate data from multiple sources
  • Develop clear, compelling dashboards and reports in Power BI to support investigator decision-making and stakeholder reporting
  • Apply AI/ML techniques including supervised and unsupervised models, anomaly detection, and NLP - to enhance detection efficiency and surface emerging risks
  • Leverage graph analytics to map and analyze relationships between entities, accounts, and transactions
  • Translate forensic data analyses into findings and recommendations that enable effective, timely investigations
  • Mentor junior analysts and contribute to building overall team capability
