The Role
LeafLink seeks a highly skilled Senior BSA/AML Analyst with deep expertise in high-risk complexity banking environments. In this role, you will own end to end financial crimes investigations across a diverse cannabis client portfolio, serving as subject matter expert on FinCEN guidance, state-level MRB regulations, and the unique typologies that emerge when embedded banking infrastructure meets federally controlled industries. This is not a routine compliance role – it requires regulatory prowess, business judgement, and the ability to operate with ambiguity.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Monitor and investigate AML alerts generated across multiple program partners.
- Conduct due diligence and ongoing monitoring of cannabis clients
- Prepare partner marijuana specific SAR reports in accordance with FinCEN’s guidance in distinguishing limited filings, priority filings, and termination filings
- Support the development and calibration of transaction monitoring rules tailored to specific typologies
- Administer the end-to-end CRB onboarding and ongoing monitoring, including cannabis specific reviews, license verifications, and beneficial ownership analysis
- Conduct regular CRB account reviews – validating cash deposits, sales activity, and transaction patterns consistent with licensed operations
- Support partner bank regulatory examinations and internal/external audits; prepare materials and respond to examiner inquiries
- Monitor and investigate alerts related to negative news, OFAC and PEP screening, and license violations
What You’ll Bring to the Team
- 5+ years of BSA/AML compliance experience, fintech and cannabis banking a plus
- Experience filing marijuana-related SARs under FinCEN’s MRB guidance framework
- Demonstrated knowledge of BasS compliance models, including how AML obligations flow between partner programs
- Experience with AML transaction monitoring platforms (i.e. Abrigo BAM+, Actimize, Verafin) and cannabis specific compliance tools (i.e. METRC, BioTrack, Shield Assure, RiskScout)
- Ability to review state cannabis license data, interpret dispensary, cultivator, processor operational structures, and assess alignment with banking activity
- CAMS certification a plus
