• Partner with sanctions subject matter experts to resolve complex regulatory questions and support four-eye review processes where applicable.
• Communicate with Sanctions Operations, Regulatory Advisory, RFCOs, and first-line stakeholders to obtain information, clarify fact patterns, and facilitate timely case resolution.
• Escalate significant sanctions concerns, emerging risks, or material findings to senior sanctions leadership as appropriate.
• Identify opportunities to enhance investigative processes, escalation workflows, screening effectiveness, and sanctions controls.
• Support sanctions governance activities, reporting, recordkeeping, metrics production, management information, and special projects as assigned.
• Monitor developments in sanctions regulations, enforcement actions, and geopolitical events to ensure investigative decisions remain aligned with current regulatory expectations.
• Contribute to cross-regional collaboration efforts, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives across the Global Sanctions Compliance organization.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in sanctions compliance, financial crimes compliance, anti-money laundering, regulatory compliance, investigations, banking, or a related field preferred.
• Knowledge of U.S. and international sanctions regulations, including OFAC sanctions programs and related financial crime compliance requirements.
