* Case Management: Maintain accurate and complete investigation records, create internal case files, and support the preparation of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in line with regulatory standards
* Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with credit risk, underwriting, collections, and engineering teams to resolve fraud cases and help build smarter detection workflows
* Process Optimization: Contribute to the improvement of financial crime detection systems by feeding back learnings and supporting updates to monitoring rules, alerts, and internal procedures
* Regulatory Awareness: Stay current on relevant AML, fraud, and fintech regulatory obligations (e.g., UK FCA, JMLSG, MLRs, POCA, PSD2) and ensure investigations are aligned with compliance requirements
Essential:
* Experience in a financial crime, AML, or fraud role within a fintech, lender, or digital bank
* Practical knowledge of transaction monitoring, EDD, and fraud case management
* Familiarity with risk indicators in digital lending and financial products
* Strong analytical mindset and investigative skills with excellent attention to detail
* Ability to write clear, concise, and objective case notes and reports

Desirable:
* Certifications such as CAMS, CFCS, or ICA
* Knowledge of KYC/KYB processes and digital identity verification
* Basic SQL or analytics skills to support deep dives into transaction data
* Understanding of credit lifecycle, including application, onboarding, disbursement, and repayment flows
Salary: £40,000 - 45,000 + 5% quarterly bonus
