What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a financial crimes/AML role where I can run end-to-end investigations, draft SARs, and strengthen EDD/KYC and transaction monitoring workflows, collaborating with compliance, risk, and business teams to improve controls and operational resilience.

I’m a financial crimes and AML investigations professional with 8+ years of experience conducting complex investigations, drafting SARs, and performing EDD/KYC reviews. I support operational risk programs through strong transaction monitoring execution and clear risk escalation.

In my most recent role as a Business Accountability Specialist, I executed enhanced due diligence (EDD) reviews to assess customer risk across complex ownership structures and high-risk industries. I investigated operational and compliance matters to identify patterns and control gaps, then translated findings into process improvement recommendations aligned with regulatory expectations.

Previously as a Due Diligence Consultant, I ran CIP, CDD, and EDD reviews to validate customer identity, business purpose, and risk profile across commercial and corporate banking segments. I reviewed screening results, resolved discrepancies, escalated high-risk findings, and partnered with business units to maintain accurate customer profiles and data integrity across systems of record.

Earlier, as a Financial Crimes Analyst and Financial Crimes Specialist, I executed comprehensive AML investigations on transaction monitoring alerts and internal referrals, drafting and filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in line with BSA/FinCEN requirements. I also strengthened investigative documentation quality through secondary review/QA and used deep AML/fraud typology knowledge to identify unusual activity, support defensible narratives, and ensure consistency across control groups.
