What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance-focused AML/KYC role where I can apply my CDD/EDD and regulatory reporting expertise, with growth in senior compliance and risk responsibilities.

I am a detail-oriented, certified AML analyst with over three years' experience at Sanlam Investment Group, specializing in KYC, CDD, EDD, sanctions screening, and regulatory reporting aligned with FATF standards. I have a proven track record of handling complex client structures, escalating high-risk profiles, drafting SOPs and RMCPs, and responding to regulatory requests from the FIC.

My background includes timely submission of STRs/SARs and other statutory reports, remediation of KYC gaps, and producing investigative reports with actionable recommendations. I hold CAMS and CTMA certifications and bring a disciplined, compliance-first approach to risk assessment and transaction monitoring.
