This role ensures that potentially suspicious activity is accurately identified, escalated, and documented in accordance with regulatory requirements and internal policies.

• Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts, applying AML/BSA typologies to distinguish legitimate activity from suspicious behavior.

• Working knowledge of KYC/CDD requirements and BSA/AML regulatory obligations.
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to clearly explain analytical decisions.
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple cases or queues efficiently.
• Comfort working with ambiguity and applying judgment to risk-based decisions.
• Self-motivated mindset with a strong desire to learn and grow in compliance.

• Competitive annual salary range: $60,000 – $80,000.
• Opportunity to work in a high-growth fintech environment focused on real financial crime risk.
• Exposure to end-to-end BSA/AML and KYC programs with direct learning from senior experts.
• Career development support, including training and assistance with compliance certifications (e.g., CAMS).
