What I'm looking for

I am seeking an AML/compliance role where I can lead investigations, file SARs, improve processes, work autonomously and collaborate with a team that values accuracy, regulatory compliance and professional growth.

I am an autonomous operations and compliance professional with hands-on experience managing complex AML investigations under tight deadlines and ensuring high quality results with zero re-opened cases.

I have independently handled the full investigation lifecycle, including transaction monitoring, document analysis, SAR filing, EDD for high-risk clients and interbank investigations under EU Regulation 2015/847, consistently meeting KPI targets (>8–12 alerts/day). I regularly use tools such as Dow Jones, Secana (WorldCheck), FCRM, GoAML and Tableau.

I am fluent in English, Latvian and Russian, pursuing a BSc in Business Economics, and I seek to contribute disciplined investigative skills, regulatory reporting experience and process improvement mindset to a compliance or AML team.
