Escalate suspected sanctions-evasion activity to SAR Filing & Reporting for STR consideration by the MLRO.
Maintain sanctions case records and audit trails to meet regulatory requirements.
Deploy AI-enabled screening optimisation and machine-learning models to sharpen name-matching, reduce false positives, and prioritise high-risk alerts for faster, more accurate adjudication.
Leverage AI-driven analytics to detect sanctions-evasion typologies and network patterns across customers and transactions, strengthening true-match investigation and escalation quality.

Required Skills & Experience

6+ years in sanctions or financial-crime investigations within banking or financial services, including team leadership.
Deep expertise across sanctions screening, name-matching, true-match investigation, and freeze/blocking procedures.
Track record building or running sanctions investigation and screening processes in a regulated environment.

Exposure to AI-enabled screening optimization, alert triage, and advanced analytics.
Able to think beyond traditional, manual sanctions processes; brings experience of automated or AI-enabled screening services, and advanced alert triage and analytics.
