This team is a high-impact group responsible for sanctions screening across this client. This is a high-volume, high-impact role requiring sound judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to work independently. Previous sanctions screening experience is a significant asset.

While most daily work is handled individually, teamwork is critical for onboarding, staying current with standards, and maintaining team culture.

Responsibilities

• Review, clear, and escalate sanctions screening alerts in real time per established SLAs.
• Investigate customers, business partners, and transactions using internal systems, commercial databases, public records, and third-party tools.
• Analyze potential matches generated by automated screening systems; differentiate true matches from false positives across sanctions and EAR restricted-party lists (including BIS Entity List and Denied Parties List).
• Escalate findings potentially related to sanctioned parties, terrorist financing, law enforcement matters, or other criminal activity.
• Gather and document evidence from internal systems, databases, and business/compliance contacts to support GESC compliance determinations.
• Maintain thorough, organized records of all screening analysis and investigative work.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on sanctions trends, emerging risks, and program enhancements.
• Support special projects and critical casework as needed.

Required Skills:

• Experience in reviewing, investigating, and resolution of sanctions, money laundering, or terrorist financing issues.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving techniques.
• Ability to apply sound ethical, independent judgement in high-volume, time-sensitive environments
• Ability to spot false positives of sanctioned or EAR restricted party list matches based on reasonable due diligence and in-depth research using publicly available information
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Expertise and experience in OFAC laws and regulations
• Must be a self-starter, flexible, innovative, and adaptive
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively with company personnel
• Ability to meet aggressive timelines and in a compliance focused environment
• Proficiency in applications such as Numbers, Pages, and Keynote and MS Office applications (Excel and Word)

Preferred:

• Experience using SAP GTS screening system and Accuity's Compliance Link
• Familiarity with EU and UN sanctions frameworks and EAR restricted-party lists.
• Experience in a global compliance environment or financial services/technology sector.
• Understanding of trade compliance concepts (export controls, denied-party screening, embargo programs).

Education:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• ACAMS Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) or Certified Global Sanctions Specialist (CGSS) preferred
