What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a sanctions-focused financial-services role where I can apply my experience in transaction screening, sanctions investigations, high-risk onboarding and regulatory risk management while continuing to develop in compliance.

I've supported sanctions operations and KYC delivery at Barclays, JP Morgan Chase and BNY Mellon, working across time-critical trading activity in EMEA, APAC and LATAM.

At Barclays, I screened and investigated inbound and outbound transactions, including SWIFT and correspondent banking activity, under UK and US sanctions regimes. I also managed complex sanctions queries, strengthened QA and escalation processes, and supported operations through high-impact geopolitical and financial events.

At JP Morgan Chase and BNY Mellon, I owned high-risk client onboarding and periodic reviews involving PEPs, adverse media, sanctions screening and jurisdictional risk. I've partnered with Front Office, Compliance and technology teams to resolve escalations, improve reporting transparency and identify control weaknesses.

I'm now seeking a sanctions-focused financial-services role where I can apply disciplined risk judgement, operational knowledge and a practical approach to regulatory controls.
