- Oversee the optimization of transaction monitoring thresholds, scenarios, and rules to improve detection of suspicious activity while reducing false positives.
- Work closely with data analytics teams to analyze transaction data, refine monitoring scenarios, and ensure the TMS is tailored to the bank’s evolving risk landscape.
- Ensure the TMS is calibrated to monitor a wide variety of financial crime risks, including money laundering, terrorism financing, and sanctions violations.

- Act as the project lead for the TMS modernization initiative, coordinating with key stakeholders across compliance, IT, and operations.
- Engage with external vendors to oversee the integration of new technologies or upgrades into the existing financial crime framework.
- Ensure regular communication with senior management on the progress of the TMS upgrade, including risk assessments, timeline management, and budget considerations.

**4. **Regulatory Compliance & Reporting****:

- Ensure the TMS complies with both local (e.g., UAE Central Bank regulations) and international regulatory requirements, including those set by FATF, OFAC, and the EU.
- Conduct regular audits and scenario testing to ensure the TMS remains in compliance with the latest regulations and industry standards.
- Prepare and submit necessary reports to regulatory bodies regarding TMS upgrades, changes, and performance outcomes.

**5. **Training & User Adoption****:

- Develop training programs for compliance, risk, and operational staff to ensure smooth adoption of the new or optimized TMS.
- Provide ongoing support and training to ensure staff are fully equipped to use the updated system and understand the transaction monitoring processes.
- Create user manuals and guidelines to facilitate proper usage of the TMS across all relevant departments.

**6. **Technology Integration & Continuous Improvement****:

- Work with IT and technology teams to ensure seamless integration of the TMS with other financial crime systems, including KYC, sanctions screening, and fraud detection platforms.
- Stay informed of new technologies and innovations in financial crime detection and make recommendations for continuous system improvements.
- Promote the use of data analytics, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of transaction monitoring.
