Financial Crime Analyst

What You'll Do

• Investigate transactions, counterparties, and customer activity to figure out what's really going on
• Work alerts using established AML procedures, separating false positives from genuine red flags
• Use Bretton's AI agents to accelerate research, transaction analysis, and narrative drafting, then bring your own judgment to what the AI surfaces
• Write clear, defensible narratives that hold up to quality assurance and regulatory scrutiny
• Document your findings in the case management system to a high standard
• Partner directly with Product and Engineering, surfacing edge cases, gaps, and opportunities that shape Bretton's roadmap

What We're Looking For

• A degree in finance, accounting, criminology, economics, business, law, political science, or a related analytical field, or equivalent professional experience
• Strong written analysis skills. Your writing is clear, structured, and stands up to scrutiny
• Sharp attention to detail and the instinct to notice when something doesn't add up
• Sharp judgment under ambiguity. You know when to dig deeper, when to escalate, and when to close
• Comfort working independently in structured procedural environments. You can follow detailed instructions without losing the bigger picture
• Genuine curiosity about how financial crime actually works and how to stop it
• Comfort working alongside AI tools. You understand both their power and their limits, and you naturally verify outputs rather than accepting them on faith
• Legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

Bonus Points

• CAMS certification (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) or equivalent
• Hands-on AML case investigation experience, including SAR drafting
• Working knowledge of money laundering typologies, red flag indicators, and US Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements
• Experience training, calibrating, or onboarding analyst teams
• Perspective from working across multiple institution types: bank, fintech, consultancy, BPO, or regulator
• Familiarity with SQL or basic data analysis
• Coursework or internship experience in financial regulation or banking
