AML & Screening Monitoring Investigator
A key part of building our business is ensuring we do it ethically and sustainably. As a financial institution, we need to know at all times what happens on our platform and whether this aligns with regulations and our risk appetite - and all of this in a scalable way.
We are looking for an experienced AML & Screening Investigator to join our AML and Screening Operations Department based in Bangalore. Do you want to be at the forefront of the fight against financial crime by conducting in-depth investigations and contributing to a passionate team? Then this is the role for you!
What you'll do:

• Investigate alerts on unusual transactions, reviewing and resolving daily screening alerts using internal and external systems and databases;
• Perform thorough research and risk assessments based on your findings, escalating cases to our Compliance team for further analysis and resolution;
• Conduct ad-hoc analyses and investigations into merchants' compliance risk profiles;
• Propose ideas for improvement of our internal processes and workflows;
• Collaborate with global teams to ensure consistency and alignment in AML and Screening Investigations across all regions;
• Contribute to team development by sharing knowledge and best practices, and assisting in onboarding new team members.

Who you are:

• You have a minimum of 3 years of experience in AML/CFT compliance and/or AML/Sanctions operations, with a strong emphasis on financial crime investigations;
• You possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, consistently using data to inform your decisions and adopting a solution-oriented approach in all aspects of work;
• You have knowledge of AML/CFT laws and regulations, and an intrinsic motivation to follow trends and developments in the AML/Sanctions domain;
• You are adaptable and able to handle multiple priorities in a dynamic environment;
• You have excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal;
• You are a reliable team player who takes ownership of your work and contributes positively to team dynamics;
• You are naturally curious, you have a keen eye for detail, a proactive approach to your work, and a strong drive to understand the "why" behind what you see.
• You have a continuous improvement mindset - you proactively identify inefficiencies, suggest improvements to workflows or tools, and are motivated to help the team and processes evolve as we scale.
• Experience in the financial sector is a must; experience with payments or fintech is a plus;
• Knowledge of the Indian regulatory landscape related to AML and Sanctions and screening is a plus.

Contributing to global, impactful and urgent work in AML/Screening requires flexibility to rotate workload evenly over the team, sometimes including public holidays and weekends (never more than 5 working days in a week).
This is a full-time position in Bangalore (not remote). We have a hybrid working model (at least 3 days in office) after an 8 week onboarding programme in office.
