Job Description

Bring your financial crime expertise to an industry with purpose, scale and global impact

At MUFG Pension & Market Services, your skills in financial crime investigations, AML/CTF and regulatory reporting translate directly into meaningful work supporting millions of Australians. As part of the largest business within a global financial institution, you’ll apply your specialist knowledge in a complex, highly regulated environment — while building your career in superannuation with strong development pathways and exposure to high‑profile clients and regulators.

This role is ideal for a financial crime specialist who brings deep experience in end‑to‑end Suspicious Matter Reporting (SMRs) and a strong understanding of regulatory obligations, and is keen to apply that expertise in a new sector.

About the role

As a Suspicious Matter Reporting Analyst, you’ll play a critical role in protecting members, clients and the organisation from financial crime. You’ll be responsible for end‑to‑end SMR investigations and reporting, operating in a fast‑paced, time‑critical environment while maintaining the highest quality and regulatory standards.

You’ll act as a subject matter expert across fraud, AML/CTF, KYC and sanctions, working closely with internal stakeholders, clients, regulators and law enforcement to identify, investigate and report suspicious activity.

What you’ll be doing day‑to‑day

• Conduct end‑to‑end Suspicious Matter investigations, from initial detection through to analysis, documentation and submission of high‑quality SMRs
• Prepare clear, concise and regulator‑ready Suspicious Matter Reports for internal stakeholders, clients and external regulators
• Apply strong knowledge of AML/CTF, KYC, sanctions and broader financial crime obligations to assess and mitigate risk
• Monitor internal and external fraud trends, contributing to fraud controls, threat‑hunting techniques and continuous improvement initiatives
• Manage SMR queues and inboxes to ensure delivery within contracted SLAs and regulatory timeframes
• Partner with multiple internal teams to balance member experience, fraud mitigation and operational efficiency
• Provide SME support across fraud and financial crime matters, including guidance, training and uplift activity
• Engage with regulators and law enforcement in line with organisational policies and statutory requirements

What you’ll bring

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a Financial Crime, AML/CTF, Fraud or Risk environment
• Demonstrated end‑to‑end SMR experience, including investigations and high‑quality written reporting
• Strong knowledge of regulators and regulatory frameworks, including AML/CTF, KYC, sanctions and related financial crime obligations
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for different audiences
• Proven ability to engage confidently with senior internal stakeholders, clients and external parties
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving and judgement skills in complex, time‑critical environments
• Ability to operate as a leader and influencer without direct people management responsibility
• Tertiary qualification in fraud, risk or a related discipline (valued but not essential)
• Strong MS Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Superannuation experience not required — financial crime expertise is key
