Perform QA testing across additional compliance areas such as KYC, onboarding, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening as needed. Who You Are Strong understanding of AML regulations and SAR requirements, with hands-on experience in SAR writing and/or SAR quality assurance review. Skilled at assessing investigative quality, including identifying gaps in logic, insufficient evidence, and unsupported conclusions.

Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with a risk-based approach to identifying issues and control weaknesses. Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, structured QA reports with well-supported findings and recommendations.
