• Provide insights to AML risk assessments, customer risk ratings, SAR/STR filings and board‑level governance.

Required profile

• Proven experience leading fraud, financial crime or AML teams in a regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of payment patterns, account behaviour and network overlap analysis.
• Ability to translate investigative findings into actionable controls and regulatory reports.
• Excellent communication skills to work cross‑functionally with compliance, engineering and data teams.
