What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an AML Analyst, FinCrime QA, or KYC/EDD role with a federally regulated financial institution, money services business, or fintech reporting entity in Canada.

I'm currently supporting CIBC as a Quality Analyst reviewing AML and transaction monitoring investigations across money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, sanctions evasion, and suspicious account activity.

I assess cryptocurrency, credit card, and payment activity; identify case gaps and compliance risks; and provide evidence-based feedback that supports SAR/STR escalation and FINTRAC-aligned quality standards. I maintain 99%+ investigation accuracy while meeting SLA and turnaround requirements.

My background also includes KYC verification, onboarding controls, audit-ready reporting, reconciliations, SOP development, and analyst coaching. I'm focused on applying Canadian AML requirements, including PCMLTFA, FINTRAC reporting, OSFI Guideline B-8, sanctions screening, and FATF standards.
