Compliance Data Analyst

You will design and implement advanced analytical solutions that enhance the detection and prevention of money laundering, fraud, sanctions breaches, and market abuse. The role provides an engaging environment where you can collaborate with cross-functional teams, leverage cutting-edge techniques, and make a tangible impact on the bank’s compliance framework.

What you'll do:

As a Compliance Data Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights that drive effective risk management strategies.

• Extract, clean, and analyse large volumes of structured and unstructured data from transaction monitoring systems, KYC processes, onboarding platforms, trade surveillance tools, and customer profiling databases to uncover meaningful patterns.
• Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to identify trends, anomalies, and emerging risk typologies relevant to financial crime compliance.
• Translate business and regulatory questions into structured analytical problems by designing evidence-based approaches that deliver clear answers for stakeholders.
• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models—such as logistic regression, random forests, gradient boosting, neural networks, and graph analytics—to support the detection of financial crime within compliance frameworks.
• Conduct feature engineering, model validation, tuning, and ongoing monitoring to ensure all outputs are robust, explainable, auditable, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
• Collaborate with MLOps and Data Engineering teams to operationalise predictive models into production environments for real-time compliance monitoring.
• Support regulatory audits or compliance requests through comprehensive data analysis and reporting that meets both internal standards and external requirements.
• Partner with Compliance Officers to align analytics initiatives with policy frameworks while streamlining reporting processes for enhanced risk management.
• Deliver descriptive analytics such as dashboards and reports alongside predictive or prescriptive models that inform decision-making across compliance functions.
