As a LATAM & Sanctions Compliance Analyst, you will assess and manage financial-crime risk for customers and activity connected to Latin America, with emphasis on Venezuela. You will conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD), investigate complex cross-border transactions, evaluate sanctions exposure, and produce clear risk assessments and escalations.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conduct CDD and EDD reviews for customers with Latin American ties, assessing geographic, sanctions, corruption, PEP, and cross-border financial-crime risks
- Review complex ownership structures, beneficial owners, related parties, and multinational business activity
- Assess and corroborate source of funds and source of wealth using documentation, public records, and adverse media
- Investigate domestic and international transaction activity (wires, ACH transfers) to identify unusual patterns and potential sanctions evasion or money laundering
- Conduct sanctions screening and disposition potential matches involving customers, beneficial owners, counterparties, and financial institutions
- Evaluate direct and indirect exposure to OFAC programs, including Venezuela-related sanctions, blocked persons/entities, the 50 Percent Rule, and applicable licenses
- Independently investigate suspicious activity and prepare internal escalations and Unusual Activity Reports (UARs)
- Support onboarding reviews, periodic refreshes, event-driven reviews, and ongoing monitoring for higher-risk international customers
- Maintain thorough case records, decision rationales, supporting evidence, and audit trails
- Partner with Compliance and Product teams to improve risk-rating methodologies, screening rules, alert quality, and operational tooling
- Stay current on LATAM financial-crime typologies, sanctions developments, enforcement actions, and regulatory guidance
Requirements:
- 4+ years of experience in AML, sanctions, EDD, financial-crimes compliance, or risk operations at a bank, fintech, payments company, or similarly regulated financial institution
- Hands-on experience reviewing customers or transactions connected to Latin America; direct experience with Venezuela-related risks strongly preferred
- Strong working knowledge of BSA/AML requirements, KYC/KYB, CDD/EDD, beneficial ownership, transaction monitoring, adverse-media research, and SAR/UAR processes
- Practical knowledge of OFAC sanctions requirements, OFAC general licenses, sanctions screening and alert disposition, the 50 Percent Rule, and escalation of complex sanctions questions
- Experience assessing international customers, foreign-owned businesses, cross-border transactions, and complex sources of funds or wealth
- Ability to analyze nuanced cases independently, identify missing information, document defensible rationale, and escalate appropriately
- Excellent investigative, analytical, and written communication skills
- High integrity and sound judgment when handling sensitive customer and financial information
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment where policies, products, and regulatory expectations evolve
Nice to have:
- Professional proficiency in Spanish, including ability to review business, banking, corporate, and source-of-funds documentation
- Experience at a U.S. bank serving international or LATAM customers, particularly foreign nationals, entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, or multinational companies
- Familiarity with Venezuela-specific sanctions, state-owned enterprises, PEP exposure, currency controls, trade-based money laundering, and regional corruption typologies
- Experience with sanctions-screening, transaction-monitoring, case-management, or investigative research tools
- ACAMS, CGSS, or comparable compliance certification
