What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run high-quality, risk-based AML investigations and strengthen AML/KYC controls—especially using AI-driven AML compliance lifecycle risk management—while collaborating with cross-functional teams and improving SAR quality.

I am an ACAMS Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist with more than 10 years of international banking experience in risk based investigations for Financial Economic Crime, including Customer Due Diligence, Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions and Adverse Media Screening, AML Risk Assessment, detecting Unusual Activity, and filing SARs.

Since June 2022, I have investigated alerts in a transaction monitoring system and led risk based email investigations, researching KYC sources (including company registry, stock exchange, regulatory and PEP databases) and analyzing sanctions/PEP/adverse media matches. I submit SARs to the Financial Intelligence Unit, act as a SPOC for my team, and provide trainings and shadowing to support high-quality, regulatory-compliant investigations.

Earlier, at Converse Bank CJSC, I conducted end-to-end AML/KYC work—CDD, sanctions and adverse media screening, AML risk assessment, transaction monitoring, and risk based onboarding/continuation/offboarding decisions—while also developing internal AML compliance workflows and delivering trainings. I also helped build contextual analytics AI systems for the whole AML compliance lifecycle (ELEMENT), now implemented in several leading European banks, with strong results including 99.9% positive quality control marking and 120% productivity versus targets.
