About the Role

Are you ready to make a significant impact in the world of quality control? As a QC/QA Analyst, you will play a vital role in ensuring that our operational outputs meet the highest regulatory, internal, and industry standards. This position is more than just a job; it’s a chance to be a critical checkpoint in our processes, utilizing a "check and challenge" framework to identify errors, mitigate risks, and drive continuous improvement across our business unit.

Your Key Responsibilities

What We’re Looking For

• Financial Crime Expertise: A broad understanding of financial threats is essential, extending beyond a narrow specialization like KYC/AML.
• QC & QA Experience: Proven experience working within a formal Quality Control or Quality Assurance function.
• Investigations Background: Highly desirable. Experience in reviewing various entities and jurisdictions is a significant advantage.
• Technical Skills: Proficient in Microsoft Excel. While we can provide training, the ability to use pivot tables is preferred.
