What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values compliance excellence and offers opportunities for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a multilingual AML/Compliance & Customer Operations Analyst with three years of hands-on experience in optimizing KYC/KYB processes and ensuring regulatory compliance. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to streamline workflows, enhance client satisfaction, and lead cross-functional initiatives. Fluent in Arabic, English, and French, I hold a Master’s in International Relations and Diplomacy, which complements my analytical skills in the compliance sector.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as reducing client onboarding time by 15-25% for French market clients at Market Pay and resolving over 50 complex operational incidents monthly for tier-1 clients. My commitment to compliance excellence is evident in my ability to detect high-risk AML cases and maintain a 98% regulatory reporting compliance rate. I take pride in training new hires and developing process documentation that has become the global knowledge base for operations.
