About the Role: The Senior Analyst, Quality Control performs independent quality review across BSA/AML & Sanctions Operations — alerts, cases, complex investigations, merchant acquiring, and sanctions dispositions. Using UAT-measured review times, the Senior Analyst executes the weekly QC sample, classifies findings against the error taxonomy, and provides objective, examiner-ready feedback that improves narrative and disposition quality without holding production disposition rights. What You Will Do: Execute the weekly QC sample across alerts, cases, complex investigations, merchant acquiring, and sanctions dispositions. Assess each item against the five-element documentation baseline and the Knowledgeable Third-Party Standard. Classify findings using the error taxonomy (critical, significant, administrative) and document rationale clearly and consistently. Provide constructive, objective feedback to analysts and investigators; participate in monthly calibration sessions. Identify recurring quality themes and escalate to the QC Lead for thematic review and effective-challenge follow-up. Maintain QC working papers in the results repository; support audit and examination requests with evidence of review. Preserve independence — perform read-only review only, with no production disposition authority. What You Will Need: Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent work experience considered. CAMS preferred; if not held, expected to obtain within 12 months of hire. 5+ years of BSA/AML alert review, investigations, or QC/QA experience. Proficiency with Actimize, FCRM, and/or Bridger and case-management workflows. Prior quality-review, peer-review, or independent-testing exposure preferred. Strong analytical and pattern-recognition skills with an eye for documentation quality. Objectivity and consistency in applying sampling and error-taxonomy standards. Clear written communication at examiner-ready standard. Working knowledge of Excel data analysis and SharePoint.
