Sr Business Analyst - Anti-Money Laundering

About the role

Capital One’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Program is designed to safeguard our communities, company, and country by preventing, detecting, and reporting on criminal activity within the financial system.

To deliver on this objective, we consume customer and transaction data from across the entire enterprise, run models to detect risky customers and behavior, and then investigate that behavior, providing leads and evidence to support Law Enforcement investigations and prosecution.

Success in AML stops criminal activity such as narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, and terrorist financing, while giving the company the confidence to grow and launch new products knowing we have sound and reliable AML defenses.

Responsibilities

• Analyze macroeconomic trends driving AML investigation volumes
• Combine an understanding of potential criminal practices with knowledge of products from every line of business to define the criteria for identifying suspicious transactions
• Optimize the investigative process through operational risk management, a deep understanding of investigator productivity, and accurate capacity planning to enable us to quickly get valuable information to Law Enforcement
• Analyze Capital One Financial businesses contributions to AML investigations, ensuring fair and accurate accounting for AML expenses
• Develop business KPIs and KRIs to define and monitor success for the program
