• Analyse transaction data, incident reports, and operational indicators to identify unusual patterns and emerging risk exposures.

• Monitor risk indicators and prepare regular reports highlighting significant changes, potential vulnerabilities, and recommended actions.

• Evaluate existing internal controls and identify opportunities to improve risk prevention, detection, and escalation procedures.

• Investigate operational incidents, transaction irregularities, and control failures in collaboration with relevant departments.

• Support risk assessments for new financial products, payment integrations, system changes, and business processes.

• Maintain risk registers, assessment documentation, incident records, and remediation tracking reports.

• Collaborate with compliance and fraud prevention teams to strengthen controls around suspicious transactions and customer account activity.

• Assist with internal reviews and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve risk management practices.

• Track corrective actions and follow up with responsible teams to ensure identified issues are addressed appropriately.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business Analytics, Mathematics, or a related discipline.

• Two or more years of experience in risk analysis, financial operations, compliance, audit, or a comparable financial services role.

• Understanding of operational risk, transaction monitoring, internal controls, and financial services processes.

• Strong analytical skills and experience working with spreadsheets, structured datasets, and reporting tools.

• Familiarity with SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or similar analytical platforms is advantageous.

• Ability to interpret information, identify irregularities, and communicate findings clearly.

• Excellent attention to detail, documentation skills, and professional judgement.

• Awareness of European financial services regulation, GDPR, AML/KYC controls, or payment services risk is an advantage.

Technical and Professional Environment

Why This Opportunity
