What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior AML/KYC operations role where I can lead compliance programs, streamline onboarding, drive data integrity and process improvements, collaborate cross-functionally, and strengthen governance and audit readiness.

I am a results-driven KYC and AML compliance professional with hands-on experience leading cross-functional workstreams at a major global bank. I focus on ensuring regulatory compliance while optimizing client onboarding and risk-mitigation processes.

I have directed remediation of KYC policy gaps, managed MRAs and corrective actions, overseen AML screening for retail and card portfolios, and led technical data migration efforts to preserve data integrity across AML systems. I produce business requirements, use-case diagrams, and maintain requirement traceability to support SDLC and audit readiness.

I collaborate closely with Legal, Compliance, Operations, Technology and Risk to drive actionable remediation plans, vendor and third-party risk processes, and continuous improvement. I bring strong stakeholder communication, process optimization, and governance experience to support robust compliance programs.
