Financial Crimes Quality Assurance Analyst

The Financial Crimes Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst will execute within the QA program focusing on 2LoD Financial Crimes activities, including oversight, review, challenge, and governance across BSA/AML, Sanctions, and Fraud. Responsibilities include performing detailed QA reviews of 2LoD casework and memos, assessing accuracy and completeness of risk-based judgments, evaluating oversight quality, and identifying inconsistencies in decision-making. You will conduct horizontal reviews to uncover systemic weaknesses, develop QA methodologies and test scripts, create a defect taxonomy, and establish scoring frameworks. You will document QA findings with clear articulation of gaps, root causes, and remediation tracking, and provide independent credible challenge to strengthen governance. The role supports regulatory exams and continuous improvement of QA practices, with a focus on differentiation between 1LoD and 2LoD activities, and requires strong analytical, judgment, writing, and communication skills. The team emphasizes independence, professional skepticism, and the ability to influence peers within Compliance; successful candidates will contribute to reducing repeat QA findings and demonstrating governance improvements. Salary range is $43,000–$70,000 with eligibility for annual incentives, benefits, and a path toward enhanced oversight of 2LoD governance and decision-making quality.
