Job Description

We're seeking a motivated Financial-Crime Analyst with strong foundations in Fraud, AML and embezzlement and a passion for business intelligence in the finance and banking sector, to join our Risk & Financial-Crime team. 

You'll be responsible for identifying suspicious activity, analyzing fraud patterns, and shaping our defenses against financial crime.

As part of our Risk team, you'll investigate alerts, enhance fraud & AML detection rules, and stay up to date with global fraud & AML trends. If you're naturally curious, action-oriented, and excited about using data to protect customers and disrupt financial crime, you might be exactly what we’re looking for.

Responsibilities

• Monitor, investigate, and analyze transactional activity to detect potential fraud, AML, and embezzlement schemes related to customer transactions and behaviors across digital channels to determine suspicious activity 
• Create and maintain fraud & AML monitoring rules, monitor emerging trends and proactively update detection logic.
• Utilize business intelligence tools (e.g., SQL,BI, Excel) to produce risk dashboards and reports that support strategic decision-making.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including data analytics, compliance, and legal to optimize risk detection mechanisms and refine typologies.
• Support continuous improvement of the fraud & AML detection lifecycle, from alerting logic to case resolution workflows.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in a business, economics, or information-related field (e.g., Business Administration, Economics, Information Systems).
• 1–3 years of hands-on experience with SQL for analyzing operational data—comfortable with joins, subqueries, and exploring data via dashboards. 
• 1-2 years experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI) to support business reporting and decision-making.
• Understanding of how data flows through systems and impacts business processes—especially in finance, operations, or risk.
• Sharp attention to operational details with a structured, process-oriented mindset.
