Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Engagement Type: Contract / Temporary

Duration: 3–6 months (with possible extension)

Start Date: Immediate or ASAP

Rate: Competitive (based on experience)

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Transaction Monitoring Analysts to join a fast-paced financial crime project for a leading financial institution in Dubai. This is a contract-based role focused on clearing a significant backlog of transaction monitoring alerts in line with internal policies and local regulatory expectations.

The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience in transaction monitoring, a good understanding of AML typologies, and a high level of accuracy and efficiency under time-sensitive conditions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and investigate large volumes of transaction monitoring alerts related to potential suspicious activity.
  • Identify unusual patterns, behaviors, or red flags using pre-set rules and AML typologies.
  • Conduct initial investigations, document rationale, and close false positives or escalate genuine suspicious cases.
  • Draft clear and concise alert narratives and escalation summaries as per policy.
  • Work within tight SLAs and productivity targets to support backlog clearance objectives.
  • Collaborate with team leads, quality assurance teams, and compliance where necessary.
  • Ensure full auditability of all work completed and maintain compliance with internal procedures and regulatory standards.

Key Requirements

  • 1–3 years’ experience in AML transaction monitoring roles, preferably within a financial institution or consultancy.
  • Working knowledge of UAE regulatory expectations and international AML frameworks (e.g., FATF, Wolfsberg).
  • Familiarity with transaction monitoring systems (e.g., Actimize, SAS AML, FICO, or similar platforms).
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail in identifying suspicious patterns or potential financial crime.
  • Proven ability to manage high alert volumes and meet daily review targets.
  • Clear written communication skills, particularly in drafting alert closures and escalation justifications.
  • Self-motivated and able to work effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven project environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Law, or a related field.
  • AML certifications such as CAMS, ICA, or equivalent are desirable.
  • Arabic language proficiency is a plus, but not required.

What’s on Offer

  • Opportunity to contribute to a high-impact financial crime project.
  • Work with a leading bank or consultancy operating in the UAE.
  • Competitive contract day rate.
  • Exposure to regional AML regulatory practices and large-scale alert environments.

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.
