About the role

  • Own and optimize AML transaction monitoring and screening systems (e.g., rules tuning, threshold adjustments, alert calibration).
  • Analyze alert and case data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to improve detection efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Investigate and clear transaction monitoring alerts.
  • Partner with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to design, implement, and enhance AML controls.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for AML vendors, managing system performance, enhancements, and issue management.
  • Conduct ongoing validation and testing of monitoring scenarios to ensure alerts are accurate, risk-aligned, and defensible.
  • Support model/rule governance, including documentation, tuning rationale, and audit/regulatory readiness.
  • Perform quality assurance on alerts, cases, and SAR/UAR outputs to ensure consistency and regulatory compliance.
  • Contribute to the development and enhancement of AML policies, procedures, and risk assessments.
  • Assist with audits, regulatory exams, and internal reviews related to transaction monitoring and screening systems.
  • Identify and drive automation and process improvements across AML operations and systems.
  • Support ad-hoc analyses and strategic initiatives as Greenlight scales.

Requirements

  • 5–7 years of AML/BSA/CTF experience within a bank, fintech, or money services business.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AML systems (transaction monitoring and/or screening), including rules tuning, scenario development, or alert optimization.
  • Demonstrated experience working with AML data (alert volumes, false positives, typologies, segmentation, etc.).
  • Experience working with or managing third-party AML vendors (e.g., ComplyAdvantage, Oscilar, Actimize, Verafin, etc.).
  • Familiarity with model/rule validation, tuning methodologies, and/or system implementation is strongly preferred.
  • CAMS, CFE, or similar certification preferred.
  • Solid understanding of BSA/AML regulations, OFAC, and suspicious activity reporting requirements.
  • Ability to translate regulatory requirements and risk insights into practical system rules and controls.
  • Strong analytical mindset with experience using data to drive decisions (SQL or data tooling is a plus, but not required).
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
