Payoneer, founded in 2005, is a global financial platform serving over 2,500 colleagues and customers across 190+ countries. The company simplifies cross-border business by removing friction from financial workflows—including global payments, compliance, multi-currency management, workforce solutions, and business intelligence.
The Sanctions Investigations Analyst will join Payoneer's Global Sanctions and Screening (GSS) team to support the review and investigation of sanctions-related alerts, escalations, and high-risk matters. Working under the guidance of the Sanctions Compliance Investigations Lead, you will strengthen Payoneer's global sanctions compliance framework through rigorous research, accurate analysis, and audit-ready documentation.
GSS ensures compliance with sanctions requirements from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), the European Union, and other global sanctions authorities.
Key responsibilities include:
- Review and investigate sanctions alerts, escalations, and potentially high-risk matters per established procedures
- Conduct research on customers, counterparties, transactions, ownership structures, and related parties to identify sanctions risk indicators
- Analyze available information, identify gaps or inconsistencies, and request additional information as needed
- Document investigative steps, findings, and supporting rationale in audit-ready format
- Prepare concise case summaries and proposed dispositions for senior review
- Escalate potential sanctions concerns, complex ownership structures, and ambiguous findings appropriately
- Collaborate with Compliance, Operations, business, and technology teams to obtain information and resolve cases timely
- Manage assigned cases and priorities while meeting service-level, quality, and recordkeeping standards
- Support reporting, trend analysis, quality assurance reviews, and process improvement initiatives
This role is ideal for an analytical, detail-oriented professional seeking to develop expertise in sanctions compliance and financial crime investigations. You will work within established procedures, collaborate cross-functionally, and escalate matters requiring senior judgment.
