The Role

Viva.com is strengthening its Anti-Financial Crime Unit and is looking for an AML/CFT Senior Investigator to support ongoing efforts to enhance our control environment. The role combines traditional investigative work with the use of AI-assisted analytical tools and is fully on-site to enable close collaboration with AFC, Data and Technology teams.

Key Responsibilities

· High-quality AML/CFT investigations across transaction monitoring alerts, sanctions/PEP hits, high-risk customer activity and complex behavioural patterns.

· Perform deep-dive analysis and draw defensible, well-supported conclusions aligned with regulatory expectations and internal policies.

· Provide second level (L2) review and quality assurance on investigations conducted by junior analysts.

· Draft clear, accurate and well-structured investigation narratives and SAR/STR reports, utilising AI-supported drafting tools where appropriate.

· Use AI-powered tools - including large language models (LLMs), anomaly detection engines, clustering tools and graph analytics - to enhance investigative workflows and identify hidden patterns or risk indicators.

· Support internal training, provide guidance to junior investigators and foster a high-quality, learning-oriented investigative culture.

· Contribute structured insights to refine detection rules, risk scoring models and automated triage processes.

· Collaborate with Data and Technology teams to improve alert relevance, reduce false positives and uplift overall detection quality.

· Work closely with AFC, Product, Data Engineering and Technology teams through daily on-site collaboration to strengthen investigative quality and knowledge-sharing.

At Viva.com, we believe in amplifying human potential through AI. When you join us, you're stepping into a future-forward environment where technology empowers every role, driving smarter, more efficient.

Requirements

· Minimum 3 years of experience in AML/CFT investigations, transaction monitoring or related AFC roles, ideally within fintech, payments or banking.

· Strong understanding of AML/CFT regulatory frameworks (FATF, EU AMLD, EBA/ECB guidelines) and ability to apply them pragmatically.

· Willingness to work with AI-assisted investigation tools; prior exposure is a plus but not required.

· Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to interpret complex information and identify meaningful patterns.

· Excellent written communication skills and ability to draft clear, structured investigation narratives.

· Collaborative and curious mindset, comfortable working in a cross-functional environment.

· Readiness to work full-time on-site and contribute actively to a high-quality, learning-oriented investigative culture.
