AML Investigations Consultant

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an AML Investigations Consultant based in the United States. The AML Investigations Consultant will support a high-impact financial crime compliance project, conducting in-depth investigations into suspicious transaction monitoring alerts and helping strengthen anti-money laundering controls. This fully remote, project-based contract offers an opportunity to apply extensive AML expertise in a fast-paced environment focused on regulatory compliance, risk identification, and investigative quality. You will investigate customer activity, analyze complex payment flows, and assess cross-border transactions to identify potential suspicious behavior.
