FinCrime Intelligence Analyst

You will play a key role in ensuring that all Suspicious Activity Reports are accurately reviewed, finalized, and submitted in line with regulatory and internal standards. You'll analyse transactional and customer activity to identify AML, fraud, and sanctions risks, and you'll review, improve and validate SARs so that they are clear, well-structured and regulatory-aligned. You'll spot gaps or areas of concern within SAR content and escalate them appropriately, making sure narratives clearly explain why activity is suspicious. You'll also apply a risk-based approach to challenge unnecessary SAR submissions or customer blocking, keep audit-ready documentation, stay up to date on evolving AML/CTF regulations and typologies, and collaborate with internal stakeholders to keep reporting practices consistent.
