Conduct forensic analytics for anti-money laundering and financial crime monitoring. Analyze large transactional datasets with SQL and Alteryx, identify suspicious behaviors and emerging typologies, develop and validate detection scenarios, calibrate thresholds, perform lookbacks and segmentation studies, evaluate transaction networks, and support AML investigations, SAR narratives, and regulatory responses.
We are seeking a forensic analytics professional who is naturally curious, investigative, and hypothesis-driven. The successful candidate will be comfortable working directly with datasets containing millions of records, using SQL and Alteryx to explore data and uncover hidden behavioral patterns. They should demonstrate a proven ability to move beyond predefined requirements and independently discover emerging AML typologies, develop defensible detection logic, and enhance the organization's financial crime monitoring capabilities. This contractor position is a remote role in the USA.
