• 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)
