We are looking for a Senior AML Analyst to join our growing compliance team at Greenlight. The ideal candidate will be ready to hit the ground running on day one, ensuring our daily AML compliance requirements are met, immediately assisting with compliance projects already in-flight, and working alongside a small AML Compliance team. This role will support compliance management in reviewing new products and services to ensure they are compliant with BSA/AML and consumer protection regulations and understanding the types of controls that would be needed in order to mitigate AML risk. Most importantly, they will serve as our growing department’s ‘lead,’ offering support and expertise in financial crimes compliance.
This position will report directly to Greenlight’s Associate Manager, AML & Payments.
Your day-to-day:
Own and optimize AML transaction monitoring and screening systems (e.g., rules tuning, threshold adjustments, alert calibration).
Analyze alert and case data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to improve detection efficiency and effectiveness.
Investigate and clear transaction monitoring alerts.
Partner with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to design, implement, and enhance AML controls.
Act as the primary point of contact for AML vendors, managing system performance, enhancements, and issue management.
Conduct ongoing validation and testing of monitoring scenarios to ensure alerts are accurate, risk-aligned, and defensible.
Support model/rule governance, including documentation, tuning rationale, and audit/regulatory readiness.
Perform quality assurance on alerts, cases, and SAR/UAR outputs to ensure consistency and regulatory compliance.
Contribute to the development and enhancement of AML policies, procedures, and risk assessments.
Assist with audits, regulatory exams, and internal reviews related to transaction monitoring and screening systems.
Identify and drive automation and process improvements across AML operations and systems.
Support ad-hoc analyses and strategic initiatives as Greenlight scales.
