📋 Description

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of AML analysts by providing regular feedback, tailored coaching, and early performance support. • Oversee the review of systematic alerts triggered by suspicious activity, ensuring every investigation is thorough, well-reasoned, and clearly documented from first review through to closure or escalation. • Perform independent quality reviews of completed TM investigation decisions before closure or escalation. • Proactively identify issues and inefficiencies in processes and drive solutions through a mix of partnerships, technology, process, and procedure changes. • Track and report on key team metrics, including SLA adherence, QA pass rates, and false-positive trends, using these insights to guide coaching and process improvements. • Partner with compliance on complex or high-risk cases and represent the team's findings clearly when escalating to senior stakeholders. • Keep up to date with evolving AML typologies and regulatory expectations relevant to LemFi's markets. • Flag control weaknesses, high-risk cases, or tooling/process issues to leadership promptly and clearly, following agreed protocols.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum 4-6 years of total AML or Compliance operations experience • Hands-on experience in AML transaction monitoring or financial crime investigations in a remittance, payments or remittance-adjacent environment, with direct exposure to high-volume alert queues. • Proven track record leading or supervising a team of analysts, with clear examples of coaching people through performance challenges, not just managing output. • Working knowledge of OFAC, FCA and FINTRAC regulations and the ability to make defensible, risk-based decisions under each framework. • Adaptability to global operational needs and ability to work in a rapidly changing business and regulatory environment. • Experience identifying and fixing operational inefficiencies, whether through better workflows, smarter tooling or changed team habits. • Strong written communication skills for internal escalations, audit responses and regulatory documentation. • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to engage senior stakeholders confidently, including in difficult conversations.
