The successful candidate will have prior AML transaction monitoring and investigations experience in the financial services, FinTech or cryptocurrency industries. You will help detect unusual activity, suspicious / illegal behaviors and patterns, as well as assist in projects focused on preventing and detecting financial crimes.

As part of the AML Investigations team, you will lead and oversee a range of critical tasks, including investigations, enhanced due diligence, and the preparation of detailed narrative reports for SAR filings.

Additionally, you will take a leadership role in ad-hoc projects, providing strategic oversight and expertise as needed to address emerging challenges and risks.

  • Support current operational processes to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry best practices.
  • Foster a collaborative and positive team environment, promoting knowledge sharing and continuous learning.
  • Evaluate AML transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting requirements for all applicable countries.
  • Monitor team performance metrics and implement improvement strategies as needed to achieve operational goals.
  • Help build tactical and scalable solutions for operational teams to manage compliance tasks.
  • Analyze data to identify process gaps and opportunities, and partner with Compliance Leaders, Training, and other FIU managers to recommend mitigating activities for risk, improve quality of investigations, and close process gaps.
  • Take ownership of high-impact projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, meet or exceed quality expectations.

What We Look For In You

  • 5+ years of direct and strong technical experience in BSA / AML investigations and operations in relevant financial crimes, transaction monitoring and investigation roles.
  • Analytical and metrics-driven mindset to create substantiated solutions.
  • Fundamental knowledge of BSA / AML regulations and policies (including OFAC, Crypto Travel Rule, FATF Guidance), as well as similar regulations globally.
  • Proven ability to perform in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines.
  • Strong process and project management skills with attention to detail, proactive, and well-organized.
  • Self-motivated and a critical thinker; adept at working both independently and collaboratively in a dispersed team environment covering multiple and varied tasks.
  • Intuitive, highly ethical, and comfortable to question and challenge the status quo.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, both verbal and written in English.
  • Experience working independently and with team members of all levels.
  • Nice-To-Haves

  • Prior experience working in a multi-national or matrix environment.
  • Knowledge of AML / CFT / Sanctions, money transmission regulations, and industry best practices.
  • Familiarity with commonly used transaction monitoring & reporting tool(s), such as Chainalysis.
  • Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CAMS).
  • Cryptocurrency experience is a plus.
  • Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive remuneration package (Basic Salary + Yearly Bonus).
  • Meal Allowance up to RM 500 / month
  • Monthly Team Building
  • RM 3,500 Benefits per annum (Training & Wellness)
