Your 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 our operational outputs meet the highest regulatory, internal, and industry standards. This position is not just about checking boxes; it’s about utilizing a ‘check and challenge’ framework to identify errors, mitigate risks, and drive continuous improvement across our business unit.

• Process Improvement: Collaborate with stakeholders to refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) based on QA results.

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.
