Rapid growth inevitably leads to inefficiencies in the work of the analytics team.

Provide comprehensive support during internal and external audits and ensure all investigative activities adhere to relevant regulatory requirements and internal policies.
Develop and implement training programs aimed at educating staff on how to identify and escalate suspicious activities.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree
2 years of previous experience in transaction monitoring, fraud investigation, compliance, or a related role.
