Job Description

Remitee, a fast growing fintech specialized in international payments, is currently looking for an AML Investigations Specialist to join our Compliance team.

About the Role

You will run financial crime investigations across our LATAM operations, covering both the alerts generated by our transaction monitoring system and proactive investigations that look for risk before it surfaces as an alert. Your focus will be the transactional behavior of end users across our partner network: amounts, payment flows and activity patterns, and what sits behind them.

This is a role for someone who wants ownership of investigations in a regulated, cross border environment, with regional scope and direct exposure to regulators. You will report to our Investigations lead and work alongside a team covering money laundering prevention, terrorist financing and fraud.

Key Responsibilities

• Run end to end financial crime investigations across AML, terrorist financing, sanctions and fraud, at onboarding, during transaction monitoring and in post transaction reviews.
• Manage and resolve alerts from the monitoring system, analyzing customer activity, transactional behavior and payment flows to determine whether activity is unusual or suspicious.
• Conduct proactive investigations across our LATAM operations to surface risk that alert rules do not capture.
• Prepare well supported investigative summaries and escalate suspicious activity with a documented recommendation on suspicious activity reporting. Keep records traceable and ready for internal and external audits.
• Perform Enhanced Due Diligence and adverse media research on higher risk customers and transactions.
• Identify emerging typologies relevant to fintech and cross border payments, including layering schemes, sanctions evasion, mule accounts, synthetic identities and fraud patterns.
• Handle information requests from regulators and stakeholders, preparing the underlying analysis and supporting documentation.
• Propose improvements to investigation processes, including responsible use of AI tools to strengthen research, documentation and analysis quality while investigative judgment stays with you.

Must Have

• At least 5 years in AML, financial crime or compliance investigations, ideally within fintech, payments, banking or capital markets.
• Hands on experience with transaction monitoring systems, alert management and suspicious activity reporting.
• Working knowledge of local and regional AML regulation (UIF, BCRA, CNV or equivalents).
• Strong quantitative analysis applied to amounts, transactional patterns and customer behavior.
• Bachelor's degree in Law, Finance, Business Administration, Economics or related fields.
• Clear, precise writing. Your investigative files need to hold up in front of regulators and auditors.

Nice to Have

• Experience in cross border payments or remittances.
• Intermediate or advanced English.
• Data skills: SQL, metric definition and visualization tools such as Power BI.
• Experience applying AI tools to improve compliance or investigation processes.
• Exposure to sanctions screening or fraud investigations alongside AML.
