Financial Crimes Compliance (FCC) sits within Financial Services Risk Management (FSRM) and focuses on supporting financial services clients with improvement, remediation and business as usual initiatives related to their anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance programs in the Financial Services Office of EY. As we continue to deliver a broad range of risk management services to financial services firms, we need you to build on our Service Delivery Center.

The opportunity:

As an Associate Analyst you’ll be based at our newly opened Service Delivery Center (SDC) in Jacksonville, Florida and San Antonio, Texas which is made up of high-performing US-based employees who work closely with our experienced Advisory professionals to deliver work to our Financial Services clients. Here, you’ll be involved in project teams of all sizes, assessing or collecting customer information or reviewing transactions to identify unusual or potentially suspicious activity. Eventually, you could have the opportunity to progress and move into a quality review or leadership role.

What to expect:

You’ll be responsible for helping EY clients support operational processes to identify and report on unusual or potentially suspicious activity. While working effectively in a team environment, your projects will vary, making every day interesting. Your work could include investigating a customer record and completing information on the research, reviewing transactions or evaluating suspicious activity on client accounts. Due to the level of this work, we’ll need you to be detail-oriented, analytical and be able to follow written procedures closely, as well as be able to effectively document the results of your analysis.

Your key responsibilities:

• Providing core due diligence and investigative research on client projects, and preparing final written documentation supporting the findings
• Collecting and assessing client information and leveraging third-party sources to conduct research
• Analyzing customer transactional records and legal documentation
• Reviewing corporate and legal structures of clients’ customer base
• Collaborating with team lead and quality control team to ensure your work meets quality standards

To qualify for the role you must have:

• A bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, including but not limited to Political Science, English, Pre-Law programs, or International Studies with a strong academic record
• Previous professional experience preferred (e.g., internship, externship)

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access and/or SharePoint) and willingness to learn firm and client specific technologies
• Willingness to learn the scope and application of AML/Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Sanctions regulations and expectations in a business environment.

Ideally, you’ll also have:

• Flexibility, as well as work in excess of standard hours when necessary to meet client deadlines.

What we look for:

We’re interested in flexible professionals who have the ability to work on a number of projects over time, and easily switch gears to work with other clients when required. You’ll also need excellent organizational skills, and a proven record of meeting deadlines. If you’re ready to make a huge impact by working on sensitive and extremely important tasks, this role is for you.
