  • Solid knowledge of AML/CTF frameworks, regulations, and reporting requirements
  • Experience in procedure development and documentation
  • Knowledge of corporate structures (private and public companies, trusts, partnerships)
  • Strong time management, work organization, and multi-tasking skills
  • Proactive, structured, and able to make informed decisions under pressure
  • Very strong communication, feedback, and presentation skills
  • Independent, self-driven, and adaptable to change

Nice to haves

  • Experience working with high-risk industries
  • AML experience across multiple companies
  • Experience creating or updating risk scoring matrices
