The role combines traditional investigative work with the use of AI-assisted analytical tools, and is fully on-site to enable close collaboration with AFC, Data and Technology teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct high-quality AML/CFT investigations across transaction monitoring alerts, sanctions/PEP hits and unusual customer activity, ensuring well-supported and defensible conclusions.
• Use AI-powered tools — including large language models (LLMs), anomaly detection and graph analytics — to identify patterns, enhance investigative analysis and improve risk assessments.
• Contribute to refining detection rules, risk scoring models and automated triage processes by providing structured feedback and insights.
• Prepare clear, accurate and well-documented case narratives and SAR/STR reports, supported by AI drafting tools where appropriate.
• Participate in AI governance initiatives, ensuring transparency, explainability and responsible human oversight in AI-assisted investigations.
• Work closely with AFC, Product, Data and Technology teams through daily on-site collaboration, enabling faster knowledge-sharing and reinforcing overall investigative quality.

At Viva.com, we believe in amplifying human potential through AI. When you join us, you're stepping into a future-forward environment where technology empowers every role, driving smarter, more efficient.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of experience in AML/CFT investigations, transaction monitoring or related AFC roles, ideally within fintech, payments or banking.
• Strong understanding of AML/CFT regulatory frameworks (FATF, EU AMLD, EBA/ECB guidelines) and ability to apply them pragmatically.
• Willingness to work with AI-assisted investigation tools; prior exposure is a plus but not required.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to interpret complex information and identify meaningful patterns.
• Excellent written communication skills and ability to draft clear, structured investigation narratives.
• Collaborative and curious mindset, comfortable working in a cross-functional environment.
• Readiness to work full-time on-site and contribute actively to a high-quality, learning-oriented investigative culture.
