About You
You are a thoughtful, analytical, and highly accountable professional who is comfortable operating at the intersection of fraud risk, anti-money laundering, and financial crime. You are naturally curious and enjoy digging into data, transactions, customer activity, and other available information to understand what happened and determine the appropriate response.
You exercise sound judgment and know when an issue requires urgency or escalation. You are comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, while maintaining thorough and precise documentation. You are also a critical thinker who looks beyond individual alerts and investigations to identify patterns, emerging risks, and opportunities to strengthen the broader Fraud and AML programs.
Most importantly, you are excited to join a collaborative team where you can develop deep expertise in financial crimes while helping Flourish continually evolve its controls as our business, products, risks, and regulatory obligations change.
About the Role
As a Fraud and AML Analyst, you will be part of Flourish's Risk Team and will work closely with Flourish's Legal and Compliance Team to support the company's Fraud, Anti-Money Laundering ("AML"), Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), sanctions, and broader financial crimes programs.
You will be responsible for reviewing and investigating Fraud and AML alerts, analyzing customer and transaction activity, documenting investigative findings, and escalating potentially suspicious or higher-risk activity when appropriate. This includes supporting AML transaction monitoring and other reviews required under Flourish's AML, BSA, sanctions, and related compliance programs, as well as managing fraud alerts and investigations across the customer lifecycle.
The role requires both thoughtful analysis and the ability to act with urgency. Fraud investigations may involve active or attempted movement of customer or company assets, and you will be expected to quickly assess available information, identify potential risks, escalate appropriately, and help determine when additional controls or restrictions may be warranted.
Beyond individual investigations, you will help maintain and continuously improve Flourish's Fraud and AML monitoring programs. Working with the broader Risk and Legal and Compliance teams, you will analyze alert and investigation outcomes, evaluate the effectiveness of existing rules and thresholds, identify emerging fraud and financial crime risks, and help ensure Flourish's monitoring and controls continue to evolve alongside the company's risk profile and regulatory obligations.
