[Hiring] Financial Crime Analyst @Flex

Role Description

Flex is looking for a curious, detail-oriented analyst to join our Financial Crime team. In this role, you will be reviewing transaction monitoring alerts, conducting KYC due diligence, and helping keep our platform and our customers safe against money laundering, fraud, and other illicit activity. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their compliance career who wants to build deep expertise in a fast-paced fintech environment and grow into broader program responsibilities over time.

What You'll Do

• Transaction Monitoring
  • Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts, applying BSA/AML typologies to distinguish suspicious activity from false positives.
  • Draft clear, well-supported case narratives and escalate higher-risk activity for supervisory review.
  • Contribute to UAR/SAR filing support under the direction of senior team members.
• KYC & Customer Due Diligence
  • Conduct KYC reviews for new and existing customers, verifying identity documents and assessing risk profiles.
  • Identify customers that warrant enhanced due diligence (EDD) and flag for escalation.
  • Maintain accurate, complete records in our case management system.
• Program Support
  • Assist with periodic quality assurance and file reviews, including for our bank partner program.
  • Help identify patterns or process gaps that could improve detection coverage or review efficiency.
  • Participate in team training and stay current on evolving AML typologies and regulatory guidance.

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of experience in BSA/AML compliance, fraud operations, or a related financial crimes role (internship or co-op experience considered).
• Working knowledge of KYC/CDD requirements and BSA obligations.
• Strong written communication — you can explain why something is or isn't suspicious in plain language.
• High attention to detail and comfort working through ambiguous or incomplete information.
• Ability to manage a queue and prioritize effectively.
• Embody a growth mindset and bring a self-driven mentality to your work.

Requirements

• Experience with a transaction monitoring platform (e.g., Sardine, Unit21, Actimize, or similar).
• Exposure to fintech, payments, or BaaS program compliance.
• CAMS or other AML certification in progress or completed.

Benefits

• $60,000 - $80,000 a year.
• Work on real compliance problems that matter — not just processing tickets in a queue.
• Collaborate directly with program leadership, have visibility into how our financial crime program is built, and grow your skills faster than you would in a large-institution role.
• Invest in our team's development and support professional certifications.
