·       Experience conducting risk-based investigations of potential sanctions matches and documenting clear, supportable decisions.

·       Familiarity with relevant sanctions laws, programs, and regulatory expectations, including those associated with OFAC, the United Nations, the European Union, and Canadian requirements and OSFI guidance.

·       Ability to identify cases that require further investigation or escalation and to act in accordance with internal procedures.

·       Experience managing operational workflows and investigation queues, including prioritization and service-level monitoring.

·       Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and effective written communication skills.

·       Ability to work collaboratively with Compliance and business stakeholders while managing competing priorities.
