• Submit regulatory filings for confirmed suspicious activity within required deadlines and track cases for follow-up or refiling when necessary.
• Review sanctions-related updates in relevant systems, resolve identified issues, and record outcomes in accordance with established procedures.
• Screen new hires and vendors against applicable watchlists and communicate results to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Respond to FinCEN 314(a) requests by conducting required searches, reporting positive matches, and providing scan results to management.
• Maintain compliance with Bank Secrecy Act requirements and other applicable regulations that govern credit union operations.
• MUST reside within a 1.5-hour driving distance of Hummelstown, PA (ZIP code 17036)
• High school diploma required; additional experience in financial services or fraud-related work is strongly preferred
• Background in fraud investigations, suspicious activity reviews, or payment risk analysis within a financial environment
• Familiarity with regulatory reporting processes, including suspicious activity documentation and filing practices
• Working knowledge of Bank Secrecy Act requirements, sanctions screening, and FinCEN 314(a) and 314(b) review processes
• Ability to analyze transaction activity, evaluate risk, and make sound decisions in situations with limited standardization
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare reports and clearly explain findings
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, Adobe, and relevant e-filing or compliance reporting systems
• Comfortable handling detailed documentation, maintaining organized case files, and managing time-sensitive deadlines
