Consultant (AML Analyst) - Financial Crime consulting - Financial Services

The Opportunity

Are you interested in supporting financial institutions in the fight against Financial Crime? We are looking for motivated professionals to join our Financial Crime Consulting team and support clients in their day-to-day Anti- Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) and transaction monitoring activities.

In this role, you will contribute to the operational processing and quality assessment of AML and sanctions alerts, either in legacy monitoring environments or in modern transaction monitoring platforms. You will help clients maintain high-quality alert handling processes, assess whether alerts are relevant and meaningful, and support the continuous improvement of transaction monitoring effectiveness.

You will work in a dynamic client-facing environment, supporting financial institutions in managing their AML/KYT obligations while ensuring operational efficiency and consistency in alert review activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Support clients in the operational procession of AML and sanctions alerts within transaction monitoring systems.
• Review and assess alerts generated by monitoring tools and determine whether they require escalation or further investigation.
• Contribute to the identification of true positives and false positives in transaction monitoring scenarios.
• Help ensure daily alert handling activities are performed in line with productivity, quality, and compliance expectations.
• Support quality assurance activities on alerts generated.
• Escalate anomalies, inconsistencies, or potential issues identified during alert handling.
• Collaborate with client teams and EY colleagues to support improvements in monitoring processes and alert review practices.
• Stay informed on AML, sanctions, and transaction monitoring trends relevant to operational alert management.

• Master degree in a relevant field (Business & Economics, Law, Criminology, …) or equivalent through experience.
• First experience in AML, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, or financial crime operations is a plus.
• Knowledge of AML/KYT concepts is an asset; for more senior QA-oriented profiles, this is expected.
• Understanding of transaction monitoring concepts such as ATL/BTL, alert handling, and true/false positive analysis is highly relevant.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
• Analytical mindset and ability to make sound judgements based on transaction behavior and alert context.
• Comfortable working in operational systems and following structured procedures.
• Excellent knowledge of business English, and fluency in Dutch and/or French.
