Anti-Money Laundering Analyst

Why This Role

This is real investigative work at a consumer fintech, not a box-checking review queue. You’ll join the Financial Crimes Compliance team and handle cases from start to finish: dispositioning monitoring alerts, researching subjects, preparing case files and writing the SAR narrative. You’ll also handle work that rarely goes to a contractor: 314(a) and 314(b) requests, OFAC research, law-enforcement inquiries and account-closure analysis. The role is fully remote with equipment provided, and the team needs people who can start quickly and produce work that holds up on review. If you write tight narratives and know when to escalate, you’ll be contributing in your first week.

Position Overview

You’ll work transaction monitoring, adverse media and high-risk watchlist alerts in Actimize and Alloy, documenting, dispositioning or escalating each one. When an alert is escalated, you’ll prepare the case: research the subject using internal data, public records, open-source and Google searches, and adverse media, then draft the investigation summary and SAR narrative for manager review. You’ll also run EDD and customer-risk reviews, manage alert queues and flag trends. On the program side, you’ll support procedures, job aids, QA, testing and remediation.

Core Responsibilities

• Review, document, disposition or escalate transaction monitoring, adverse media and high-risk watchlist alerts in line with procedures and service expectations
• Maintain alert queues, identify trends, flag unusual patterns and support accurate operational reporting
• Prepare escalated cases using internal data, public records, open-source research and adverse media
• Draft investigation summaries, SAR narratives and recommendations for manager review
• Perform EDD reviews, customer-risk research, and periodic or event-driven reassessments
• Support 314(a), 314(b), OFAC-related research, law-enforcement requests and account-closure analysis
• Maintain complete, review-ready case files and evidence in line with retention requirements
• Contribute to policies, desktop procedures, process maps, QA, testing, reporting and remediation work

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in AML investigations, EDD, fraud, compliance, intelligence, law enforcement or a similar analytical field
• Hands-on transaction monitoring and SAR narrative experience
• Working knowledge of sanctions/OFAC, adverse media and customer-risk concepts
• Ability to synthesize complex facts into clear, concise investigative narratives
• Strong attention to detail, research discipline and sound escalation judgment
• Actimize experience strongly preferred; Alloy, Socure or ComplyAdvantage a plus

Additional Details

• Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Fully remote, however, candidates must be based on the East Coast
• Equipment provided
• Starts ASAP and runs through the end of January
