Dedicated KYC/AML and risk specialist focused on preventing financial crime and strengthening compliance programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Compliance and Risk Specialist with extensive experience in KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring gained primarily at UBER Poland. I apply analytical and investigative techniques to detect financial crime, improve onboarding processes, and maintain regulatory compliance.
At UBER Poland I developed and implemented enhanced KYC procedures, conducted comprehensive reviews for individual and corporate clients, and screened entities against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions using tools like Dow Jones. I collaborated with management on quality assurance and efficiency-improvement initiatives.
I have hands-on experience monitoring transactional activity, investigating alerts, documenting findings, and working closely with AML investigators on suspicious activity reports. I played a key role in refining monitoring rule thresholds and optimizing sanctions screening rule sets to reduce false positives.
I hold a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and ongoing training in Financial Risk Management, and I bring strong regulatory knowledge, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset. I am committed to safeguarding financial institutions and continuously improving compliance frameworks.
