  • Evaluate account activity against expected activity/business type to identify inconsistencies or red flags
  • Document EDD findings in clear, well-supported narratives suitable for audit and examiner review
  • Recommend risk rating adjustments, account restrictions, or SAR referrals based on EDD findings
  • Support periodic and trigger-based EDD refreshes in line with the institution's risk assessment schedule
  • Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts in a timely, well-documented manner
  • Draft clear alert narratives that support audit and examiner review
  • Identify trends or patterns across high-risk customer segments and alert activity that may indicate emerging risk

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 2+ years of BSA/AML experience within a bank or financial institution (bank experience required)
  • Demonstrated, hands-on experience conducting EDD reviews for high-risk customers
  • Direct experience with MRBs, cash-intensive businesses, and similar elevated-risk customer types
  • Proven experience reviewing and dispositioning transaction monitoring alerts
  • Strong understanding of BSA/AML regulations, red flags, and typologies specific to high-risk segments
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, examiner-ready narratives
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, deadline-driven environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • CAMS, CAFP, or other relevant industry certification
  • Experience with core banking or case management systems (e.g., Verafin, FCRM, Abrigo)
  • Prior experience supporting community banks
  • Experience with MRB-specific guidance (e.g., FinCEN's 2014 marijuana banking guidance)

  • Type: Contract, full-time (40 hours/week)
  • Location: Remote

Direct applicants only — no agencies or staffing firms, please.

Pay: $40.00 - $45.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week

Application Question(s):
