AML Reporting Specialist

We’re looking for an AML Reporting Specialist to join our AML Operations team in our new Austin, Texas office! 

If you’ve got previous FinCEN SAR filing experience, love fighting crime, and you’re interested in joining one of the fastest growing FinTech companies, read on! 

You’ll receive a competitive package including a salary range starting at $60,000 annually, based on experience + Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in a profitable company + best in class benefits! 🚀

Your mission:

Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies. Our customers can also manage their hard-earned money with the world’s first platform to offer true multi-currency banking. 

In this role, you’ll add to that mission by:

  • Reviewing escalations from our AML and Fraud investigations teams
  • Summarizing investigation findings, analyzing payment activity and submitting suspicious activity reports to FinCEN (and upon need, to FINTRAC)
  • Conducting investigations and analysis in response to supporting documentation request related inquiries and 314b requests to ensure that regulatory requirements are met
  • Preparing escalations to global teams for suspicious activity reporting in other jurisdictions
  • Developing strong relationships with internal and external partners
A bit about you:
  • You have experience writing FinCEN Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS)
  • You’re accurate and pay close attention to detail 
  • You enjoy owning your work, can operate independently, and take charge on projects when needed 
  • You’re a clear communicator, persuasive, and adaptive to different audiences
  • You’re comfortable with feedback and being part of a team where ideas are shared and openness is valued
  • You’re fully fluent in English and have excellent verbal and written skills
  • You live in or are willing to relocate to the greater Austin area
  • You are already legally authorized to work in the US, as we cannot support Visas for this role

Even better if you have:

  • Experience working at a startup or FinTech company
  • Are fluent in any additional languages
  • Have worked on 314b information requests
  • Experience filing SARs to FinTRAC
  • Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (ACAMS) certification or similar 🎉

This role will give you the opportunity to:

  • Make an Impact – You're not just a number here, you’ll help to identify and automate manual processes that complicate our customers’ lives, while increasing the efficiency of the whole operations organization, driving us towards Mission Zero! 🚀
  • Challenge Yourself – You’ll be working with teams that face big challenges. You get the chance to question the norm and drive to make things happen instead of wondering why things happened. Through that you can learn more about yourself and what you are capable of when given the right tools and mentoring! 💪
  • Inspire Teams – You’ll fuel this revolution with your ideas, knowledge, self-starter attitude, and customer insight, which you’ll use to work with product development engineers and other operational teams to help solve our customer’s problems! 💫
  • Work Globally – We’re 3000+ Wisers with 90+ nationalities located in offices from Tampa to Tokyo, and much like our product, we operate without borders across teams and locations. We get it done! 🌎
Key Benefits: 
  • 🚀  RSU's in a rapidly growing company 
  • 💻  Hybrid working – a mix between working from home and the office
  • ✈️  Wisers can work remotely for 90 days a year. By ‘remote’ we don’t just mean from home, but from wherever in the world you choose to
  • 💪  An annual self-development budget
  • 🩺  Medical, dental, & vision insurance – including HSA and FSA options
  • 💝  Company-paid: Life Insurance, Short & Long-Term Disability, and an EAP program
  • ☀️  25 days PTO, 15 sick days, 11 holidays, 5 compassionate leave days, 3 paid “Me” days and a paid volunteer day, annually
  • 🏝️  A paid 6-week sabbatical leave after four years 
  • 👶🏼  18-weeks of paid parental leave, after a year with us
  • 💰  401k with up to a 4% employer match
