Om tjänsten
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior AML Specialist to join our Compliance team in Finland and help strengthen wamo’s AML/CFT capabilities.
Reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer, you’ll play a hands-on role across the AML lifecycle - from digital customer onboarding
and risk assessment through transaction monitoring, investigations, suspicious transaction reporting and sanctions screening.
This is not a purely policy-focused role. You’ll work directly with cases, systems and controls while also helping us continuously
improve how our AML framework operates in practice. You’ll contribute to our AML/CFT risk assessment, monitoring controls,
policies and regulatory readiness, working closely with the CCO and teams across the business.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong AML judgement with a practical, analytical mindset and is comfortable operating in a
fast-moving digital financial environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Review and risk-assess customers onboarded through fully digital channels, including CRA, CDD, EDD, identity verification, PEP
assessments and high-risk jurisdiction considerations
- Investigate and resolve transaction monitoring alerts across payments and transfers, identifying unusual or potentially
suspicious activity
- Contribute to the review, calibration and improvement of transaction monitoring rules and controls, including reducing false
positives without compromising detection effectiveness
- Investigate suspicious activity and prepare and submit suspicious transaction reports to the Finnish Financial Intelligence
Unit (FIU) in line with internal procedures
- Maintain clear, accurate and defensible case files, including CDD evidence, investigation findings, risk rationale, monitoring
decisions and escalation records
- Work closely with relevant teams on cases where AML and fraud risks overlap, including mule accounts, account takeover and
other suspicious payment activity
- Keep up to date with relevant Finnish and EU AML/CFT regulatory developments and support their implementation within the
business
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
NICE TO HAVE
- Previous exposure to FIN-FSA or another EU financial regulator, including inspections, audits, remediation or information
requests
