Job Description:
This role supports a global ecommerce and social commerce financial crime program covering KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, enhanced due diligence (EDD), and regulatory reporting across a three-tier alert lifecycle (L1–L2–L3).
The operating model is transitioning to an AI-augmented workflow, where low-risk reviews are automated and analysts focus on validating AI outputs and handling higher-complexity cases.
Core Responsibilities:
- Review and process KYC/KYB alerts across:
- L1: Data confirming, screening, document checks, initial risk categorization, false-positive clearance
- L2: Deep-dive investigation of complex cases (high-risk indicators, adverse media, PEP exposure, sanctions concerns, unusual activity, ownership opacity)
- L3: Support EDD and sanctions adjudication with detailed investigation reports and evidence packs
- Verify customer/business information including legal entity details, ownership structure (UBO), directors, controllers, and related parties
- Conduct risk assessments based on:
- Sanctions exposure, PEP status, adverse media
- Source of funds/wealth, business activity, geography/product risk
- Expected vs. actual transaction/activity behavior
- Perform screening for customers and related parties against sanctions, fraud, and AML risk indicators; escalate unresolved risks or close matches
- Validate AI-generated outputs (KYC summaries, document extraction, risk indicators, recommendations) against source data
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies, unsupported conclusions, or false negatives
- Produce clear, audit-ready case documentation with structured narratives, evidence, and risk rationale
- Ensure adherence to SLA timelines and quality standards, including:
- KYC/KYB review: 2 business days
- Sanctions review: 1 business day
- EDD investigations: 14 business days
- Transaction Monitoring review: up to 25 calendar days
- Minimum quality threshold: 95% accuracy and completeness
- Collaborate with investigation teams, compliance stakeholders, and cross-functional units to resolve complex cases
- Operate within a controlled environment (ODC/clean room), supporting a 24/7 rotational shift model, including night shifts and weekend coverage
Requirements:
- Experience: 1–3 years in KYC, KYB, CDD, EDD, transaction monitoring, fraud risk, or sanctions screening
- Knowledge & Skills:
- Strong understanding of financial crime concepts: CIP, CDD/EDD, UBO, PEP, sanctions, adverse media
- Ability to review documents, validate data, and identify inconsistencies or risk indicators
- Strong analytical thinking and risk-based decision-making capability
- High attention to detail with ability to manage high-volume cases under strict SLA
- Communication:
- Strong English reading comprehension and professional writing skills
- Ability to produce clear, structured, audit-ready case narratives
- Tools & Domain Exposure:
