In this role, you'll make an impact in the following ways:

Review static sanctions name screening alerts generated from client records, onboarding documentation, and periodic review cycles.
Analyze potential matches against sanctions lists to determine whether an alert represents a true match, false positive, or requires escalation.
Perform detailed reviews of client information, including names, aliases, addresses, identification details, ownership information, and related-party data.
Collect and assess supporting information from internal systems, independent research, online tools, relationship managers, and/or clients to reach accurate screening outcomes.
Conduct due diligence to confirm completeness and accuracy of client and sanctions-related information.
Document review findings clearly and consistently, including the rationale for clearing, escalating, or restricting a match.
Escalate confirmed or unresolved sanctions hits to the appropriate Compliance, AML, or Sanctions Advisory teams.
Review profiles and cases during renewal and periodic review cycles to help ensure ongoing due diligence.
Review the work of others and provide feedback to support quality assurance and consistency.
Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders and, where necessary, external clients to resolve open issues and obtain missing information.
Support the review of standard profiles flagged by screening tools, including real-time scans and escalated OFAC sanctions alerts arising from transactional or static screening processes.
Provide guidance and support to less experienced AML/KYC/Prevention support staff as needed.
Maintain responsibility for the quality, accuracy, and timely completion of assigned work.
No direct reports.

To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following:

3-5 years of experience.
Prior experience in sanctions screening, AML, KYC, or compliance operations preferred.
Working knowledge of sanctions regulations and screening concepts.
Strong attention to detail and ability to assess name-matching logic and supporting data.
Demonstrated analytical, research, and documentation skills.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple cases and meet established review timelines.
Open and adaptable to a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.
