- Implementing best practices in risk analytics and reporting (control effectiveness, alert quality, investigation efficiency) to improve operational performance and risk outcomes
- Closely collaborating with designers and operations to shape investigation and case-management UX and improve investigator productivity
What makes you a great fit

- Experience in cross-team collaboration and stakeholder management
- Experience with BPMN/UML/DFD (or similar) to visualize processes, decision points, and data flows
- B2 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team
Your bonus skills
- Experience with BI tools (Superset, Tableau, etc.) for dashboards, monitoring, and KPI design
- Understanding of APIs and event streaming (Kafka or similar)
- Familiarity with concepts such as transaction monitoring, risk scoring (rules/ML), alert triage, case management, and control effectiveness metrics
