What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth, values compliance, and encourages collaboration within a dynamic team.

My expertise lies in conducting detailed transaction monitoring and due diligence, ensuring adherence to regulatory frameworks while effectively mitigating potential risks. I am proficient in leveraging advanced tools for client onboarding and AML reviews, demonstrating a commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong analytical skills that facilitate the effective identification of suspicious activities, contributing to enhanced organizational security and compliance. I have successfully led second-line transaction monitoring and submitted Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in line with WWFT and FATF standards. My role has involved analyzing high-risk customer profiles and conducting Enhanced Due Diligence, translating complex risks into practical mitigation measures.

I am dedicated to continuous improvement and adept at managing complex tasks within fast-paced environments. My collaborative work with IT, compliance, and operations teams has enhanced end-to-end AML workflows and implemented system-level risk controls, ensuring transparency and accuracy in compliance operations.
