  • Partner with the Risk Assessment, Product, Data, Engineering, Operations, and Compliance Technology teams to identify emerging risks, evaluate control effectiveness, and translate AML/CTF requirements into effective onboarding, monitoring, screening, payment, and case-management workflows.
  • Support regulatory examinations, partner bank inquiries, and audits; prepare governance materials, metrics, risk indicators, and training; and contribute to due diligence, remediation, and continuous improvement projects that strengthen the global AML/CTF program.
  • Maintain central program registers and governance of action items in response to self-identified issues, internal and external assurance results, and regulatory findings ensuring global program read across for visibility and analysis of root causes and remediation plans.
