As our FEC Consultant, you identify excessive patterns such as money laundering or fraud in payment transactions between different bank accounts for our clients. As a consultant, you will work for one of our clients (think banks, insurers, and asset managers) and perform checks on a customer’s account using automated systems. You will be responsible for identifying, analyzing, and reporting suspicious transactions. This way, you help us prevent financial crime. You will work in an ambitious and dynamic team with us, offering ample growth opportunities and embodying a “work hard play hard” mentality. In our work environment, we combine professionalism with a fresh perspective and a lot of passion.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Complex Case Analysis: Lead and execute deep-dive investigations into high-risk client profiles and intricate transaction patterns, identifying potential money laundering, terrorist financing, or fraud that automated systems might overlook.

• Quality Assurance & Feedback: Act as a first-line reviewer for dossiers completed by junior analysts, providing constructive feedback to ensure all reporting meets both internal "Compliance Champs" standards and specific client regulatory requirements.

• Regulatory Advisory: Translate complex AML/CTF (Wwft) and Sanctions regulations into practical operational steps for the client’s project team, ensuring a 'First-Time-Right' approach in transaction monitoring workflows.

• Process Optimization: Proactively identify bottlenecks in the client’s automated monitoring systems or manual investigation processes and propose data-driven improvements to increase detection efficiency.

• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for project leads at banks, insurers, or asset managers, reporting on project progress and defending findings during compliance committee meetings.
