Role Overview: Transaction Monitoring Analyst

We are looking for a dedicated Transaction Monitoring Analyst to support our AML and financial crime detection initiatives within a high-visibility compliance program. Your primary responsibilities will include reviewing alerts, conducting first-level investigations, assessing transactional behaviors, and ensuring all actions meet regulatory expectations—particularly under the German AML Act (GwG). Your proactive role will help identify suspicious activities, escalate potential risks, and keep monitoring processes transparent, well-documented, and audit-ready.

Your Responsibilities

• Perform initial AML alert reviews to differentiate false positives from genuine concerns and escalate appropriately.
• Handle post-processing activities related to alerts associated with SAR/STR obligations under 43 of the German AML Act (GwG).
• Manage multiple queues of account-screening and real-time transaction-screening alerts accurately and efficiently.
• Conduct initial triage of transaction monitoring alerts, ensuring documentation meets BaFin expectations.
• Review customer information, transactional behaviors, and red-flag indicators to assess risk relevance.
• Prepare clear and defensible rationales for alert clearance and escalation decisions.
• Maintain high productivity while adhering to strict quality and compliance standards.
• Perform detailed reviews of transaction histories on flagged accounts and recommend rule refinements.
• Contribute to defining and enhancing transaction-monitoring rules to bolster detection capabilities.
• Accurately record interactions, issues, and outcomes within systems like LOCS.
• Escalate potential Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to senior team members, aligning with regulatory duties.
• Identify and escalate red flags and vulnerabilities, supporting remediation and mitigation strategies.

Who We're Looking For: The Ideal Candidate

• Strong educational background; a degree in Finance, Law, or a STEM discipline is advantageous.
• Knowledge of German AML regulations (GwG), including 43 reporting requirements.
• Proficiency in German language (C1 or above).
• At least 2+ years of experience in Transaction Monitoring, with a proven track record in investigating high-risk financial activity and spotting AML red flags.
• Experience reviewing alerts, analyzing transaction patterns, and assessing suspicious behaviors.
• Background working within banking institutions or consulting/outsourced AML services.
• Solid understanding of AML, financial crime risk, and regulatory frameworks.
• Familiarity with transaction-monitoring platforms and screening tools.
• Ability to interpret and apply financial crime guidance and industry standards.
• Knowledge of BSA/sanctions-related regulations.
• Exceptional attention to detail, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of engaging stakeholders across all levels.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
