The Role

You’ll Help Them With The Following Questions And Challenges

• • As financial crime is ever-evolving in its nature, how can they spot new typologies as soon as possible and prevent them from happening going forward?
  • How can they optimize their current financial crime rules to minimize customer impact and reduce the operational burden on the team? And which new financial crime rules should they implement?
  • How can they measure financial crime rates and alert the right people if they see a spike?
  • How can they empower their operational colleagues by helping them use data in their day to day financial crime decisions?
  • Where can they find operational time savings in their manual workflows, using data to tackle the biggest wins first?

You will be responsible for digging deep into the data, understanding their users’ behaviors, finding useful signals in the data and proposing solutions to identified problems.

You’ll also work closely with engineers across the company to ensure that they are collecting all the necessary data that they will need for future analyses.

Finally, you will introduce and monitor company-wide KPIs which will measure the performance of financial crime prevention and alert them if something goes off track.
