We are seeking a detail-oriented and driven Financial Crime Analyst to join our Transaction Monitoring team in Edinburgh. While the role sits within Transaction Monitoring, Financial Crime Operations works as one connected function, and you will be expected to flex across Transaction Monitoring, Fraud, and Screening as priorities demand, with the potential to also support Onboarding and CDD. You will build a broad, well-rounded skill set across financial crime disciplines.

You will report into the Transaction Monitoring Team Manager and work closely with colleagues across Fraud, Screening, and the wider Financial Crime Operations team to ensure alerts, cases and reports are handled accurately and within required timescales. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build broad, versatile expertise in financial crime risk management within a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Key Responsibilities Your day-to-day work will be varied, with tasks shared across Transaction Monitoring, Fraud and Screening depending on business need.

This will typically include: Reviewing and investigating alerts and cases generated across Transaction Monitoring, Fraud and Screening, applying sound risk-based judgement. Carrying out research and analysis to support decision-making, including account history, transactional patterns, and relevant watchlist or media checks. Documenting findings clearly and, where required, preparing and filing reports (such as SARs/UTRs) with internal and external stakeholders within agreed timescales.

Potentially supporting client onboarding and Customer Due Diligence (CDD), including reviewing onboarding information, verifying customer details and assessing risk in line with internal policies. <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-lis
