About the opportunity

We are looking for an AFC Associate - SAR Writer to join our Italian MLRO Team in Madrid. In this role, you will act as the crucial bridge between first-line operational investigations and regulatory reporting. You will be responsible for reviewing the initial transaction analysis provided by the 1st Line of Defense and drafting high-quality, comprehensive Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs / segnalazioni di operazioni sospette) for the Italian market.

Working closely with the SAR Delegate and the Italian MLRO, your primary focus will be turning escalated first-line cases into precise, well-structured narratives ready for final validation and submission to the Italian Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF).

In this role, you will:

  • Review and challenge the initial alerts analysis, customer profile assessments, and transaction findings escalated by the 1st Line of Defense.
  • Draft detailed, structured, and compliant SAR reports, writing the official case narrative and reconstructing the customer’s suspicious behavior according to Italian FIU (UIF) guidelines.
  • Identify any analytical gaps or missing documentation in the 1st line escalation and collaborate with operational teams to collect necessary case details before finalizing the draft.
  • Prepare finalized draft files alongside clear, evidence-based recommendations for the SAR Delegate and Italian MLRO to facilitate final review, sign-off, and submission.
  • Provide feedback to 1st Line of Defense on escalation quality to help align first-line investigative standards with regulatory expectations.
  • Support the Italian MLRO team in maintaining organized SAR logs, updating report templates, and compiling data for internal audits and annual regulatory self-assessments.

What you need to be successful:

  • University degree in Law, Economics or a related field.
  • 1 to 3 years of experience within an Anti-Financial Crime (AFC), AML, or Compliance function (2nd Line of Defense preferred), ideally in a bank, payment institution, or fintech operating in Italy.
  • Direct experience or strong familiarity with the SAR/SOS drafting process (segnalazioni di operazioni sospette) under the Italian FIU (UIF) regulatory framework.
  • Professional certifications (e.g., ICA, ACAMS) are a plus.
  • Solid knowledge of Italian AML/CTF regulations (D.Lgs. 231/07) and UIF anomaly indicators/reporting guidelines.
  • Fluency in Italian and English (written and spoken) are mandatory.
  • Exceptional writting skills (Italian) to craft accurate, formal, and concise narrative reports, with a strong critical eye for reviewing 1st line work.
  • Meticulous approach to data consistency, document cross-referencing, and factual accuracy.

What’s in it for you:

  • Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors 🚀.
  • Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
  • As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
  • A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds.
  • A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
