Role Overview:

Join a leading financial institution as an AML/Transaction Monitoring Senior Analyst.

• Conduct comprehensive investigations, gather data, validate findings, and provide recommendations (escalation, closure, or SAR filing).
• Draft high-quality narratives and case documentation for internal escalation and regulatory submission.
• Perform background checks on counterparties using public and subscription databases (e.g., LexisNexis).
• Maintain clear audit trails and ensure all investigative actions are documented.
• Collaborate with Quality Control and Assurance teams to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Identify new typologies and process improvements through periodic reviews.

Requirements:

• Minimum 1 year experience in transaction monitoring (TM alerts handling) within European financial institutions.
• Hands-on exposure to AML, transaction monitoring, end-to-end investigations, and SAR/STR preparation.
• At least one relevant certification: ICA (AML, Financial Crime, Compliance) and/or CAMS.
• Fluency in English (C1); verbal and written skills required.
• Strong analytical and investigative mindset; ability to interpret large datasets.
• Excellent documentation, drafting, and case-writing capabilities.
• In-depth understanding of AML regulations, typologies, and red flags.
• Attention to detail and accountability.
• Risk-based approach to transaction monitoring.
• Must have a valid work permit/residency for Portugal or citizenship of an EU/Schengen country.
