• Inquisitive by nature - You know when to dive a little deeper to get to the bottom of a problem and solve it; you ask the right questions to arrive at solutions efficiently and creatively

What you will bring:

• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent
• 2+ years of work experience; Prior experience at a bank of fintech is preferred
• Subject matter expertise in BSA/AML/Fraud
