We are looking for an experienced AML/BSA Manager to support financial crime compliance efforts for a long-term contract position based in New York, New York. This opportunity is ideal for a detail-oriented individual who can assess suspicious activity, conduct detailed transaction reviews, and produce clear investigative documentation in a fast-moving environment.

• Conduct in-depth reviews of transaction activity to identify potentially suspicious behavior and determine appropriate investigative next steps.
• Analyze system-generated alerts, evaluate unusual patterns, and document well-supported decisions in accordance with AML and BSA standards.
• Prepare thorough case narratives, reports, and supporting records that clearly explain investigative findings and risk considerations.
• Perform enhanced due diligence research when customer activity or profiles require additional scrutiny.
• Apply sound judgment to escalate complex matters and recommend whether activity warrants further review or formal reporting.
• Manage a steady pipeline of investigations while maintaining quality, accuracy, and timeliness in a high-volume setting.
• Collaborate with compliance and operational stakeholders as needed while remaining effective with limited day-to-day supervision.
• Use technology and research tools efficiently, including a willingness to explore AI-enabled resources that can improve analysis and productivity.
