• Maintain high standards of accuracy, consistency, and efficiency while managing fluctuating case volumes
• Participate in quality reviews, team huddles, and continuous improvement initiatives related to SAR processes
• Stay current on evolving regulatory guidance, typologies, and best practices in financial crime compliance

• 1–3 years of hands‑on SAR experience required
• Prior experience in financial crime, AML, fraud investigations, or compliance within a bank or financial institution
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex information into clear written narratives
• Demonstrated experience exercising sound judgment in time‑sensitive, regulated environments
• High attention to detail and strong documentation skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a structured project team
• Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent professional experience)
