Functie

Anti-Money Laundering & Combating Terrorist Financing are key for our society and for our organisation. We want to protect our customers as well as the bank from the negative effects of financial crime. In order to do that we need people who are willing to look into data, patterns and behaviour of the people who are making transactions to find those indicators that may hide illegal activities. As a KYC AML/CTF data scientist you will be responsible for the analyses of transactions and optimization of the Transaction Monitoring system.

The tuning and optimization of these systems is a regulatory requirement and requires statistical, investigative and operational expertise. From an operational point of view the optimizing needs to contribute in reducing the workload. Help your colleagues cut through the noise and focus on the alerts that your analyses shows to be dubious. But beyond that this role puts you on the front line of fighting financial crime. You can prevent Money Laundering, Fraud and Terrorist financing with your unique skill set.

As an expert you:

• Are able to interpret data analysis and statistical output and translate this into audit proof documentation that can be used for decision-making;
• Combine a pragmatic approach to realize quick wins with a long term vision on further improving the tuning methodology (e.g. by introducing AI/ML in the optimization efforts);
• Translate regulatory and procedural requirements around tuning (and back-testing) into a methodology and way of working that fits within the existing system and processes;
• Liaise with multiple stakeholders within the Wholesale & Rural domain globally. Such as IT, Business, Compliance and Operations within all regions to ensure effective management of requirements by actively seeking solutions related to building and improving the global AML/CTF solution.
