Your Profile

We're looking for someone with at least a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in AML investigation and SAR/STR filing.

Being well-organized and self-managed with strong prioritization skills is key. You'll need excellent written and verbal communication skills, and hands-on experience in crafting clear and concise narratives.
