Leverage data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, ACL, or Tableau) to analyze transaction patterns, detect anomalies, and validate the effectiveness of client monitoring systems.
Design and implement tailored AML compliance programs that align with local regulatory requirements (HKMA, PBOC,SFC, IA etc.) while integrating advanced data monitoring capabilities.
Prepare detailed working papers, draft audit reports, and provide strategic recommendations to senior management on risk mitigation and regulatory remediation.
Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless delivery of projects and share best practices in AML technology and methodology.
Support forensic investigations and risk scoring model validation, including SAR filing analysis and transaction monitoring tuning.
Ensure compliance with Hong Kong regulations (HKMA, JFIU, AMLO, SFC VASP Guideline, Insurance Authority Guidelines) and other relevant regional requirements throughout project delivery.
Skills and Attributes for Success
Strong analytical skills with proficiency in data analysis tools such as SQL, Excel Advanced, Python, R, or similar technologies.
In-depth understanding of AML regulations and compliance requirements, particularly within the Hong Kong jurisdiction (HKMA, JFIU, AMLO,ect).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
Ability to translate complex data findings and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable insights for clients.
Strong attention to detail and ability to analyze large volumes of transactional data to identify risks and anomalies.
