Strong analytical skills and attention to detail in identifying suspicious patterns or potential financial crime.
Proven ability to manage high alert volumes and meet daily review targets.
Clear written communication skills, particularly in drafting alert closures and escalation justifications.
Self-motivated and able to work effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven project environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Law, or a related field.
AML certifications such as CAMS, ICA, or equivalent are desirable.
Arabic language proficiency is a plus, but not required.
