You and Your Job

Preventing money laundering and terrorist financing is super important for our society and for us as an organization. As a bank, we play a big role in this. To really make a difference in fighting financial crime, we need sharp minds like yours. People who love diving into data, finding patterns, and understanding customer behavior to uncover illegal activities. You’ll work with your team to improve our current rule-based Transaction Monitoring (TM) system. Down the road (not immediately, though!), we’re looking to introduce more advanced analytics, like Machine Learning, into our TM models.

This job calls for solid statistical knowledge, an analytical mindset, and practical, hands-on expertise. If you nail it, you’ll ensure our analysts can zero in on the real alerts, meaning they spend their time on truly valuable work. Basically, you’ll be on the front lines of the fight against financial crime. Some practical things you’ll be doing include: developing and improving detection rules within multidisciplinary teams to uncover patterns linked to illegal activities; identifying new, relevant data sources and figuring out how to integrate them into our models; and working with business experts, model owners, and IT to implement and constantly refine models.

Top 3 Responsibilities

• Develop and enhance (parts of) our detection rules, which includes data analysis, setting up models, and writing reliable, well-structured code.
• Identify challenges related to model choices and actively contribute to finding suitable solutions.
• Collaborate with colleagues - including juniors, mediors, IT specialists, and analysts - to ensure consistent best practices across the team., Working conditions: This job role offers a balanced split between operational (run) and project (build) work, with a distribution of 75% operational and 25% project-related tasks. To minimize the impact on business operations, some changes may be scheduled outside of regular business hours.

Do you want this too? Do you aspire to be the best version of yourself? We are delighted to support your development and invest in an environment where continuous learning is encouraged. We provide you with the freedom to innovate and take initiative. By offering numerous growth opportunities, we help you exceed your own expectations and excel in your work, enabling you to grow both personally and professionally.

Moreover, you can expect the following benefits based on a 36 or 40-hour working week:

• An Employee Benefit Budget equivalent to 10% of your monthly income, which you can use according to your preferences. This budget allows you to purchase additional holiday days or make additional contributions to your pension.

• A Master’s degree in Data Science, Econometrics, Mathematics, or something similar.
• You’ve got 3-5 years under your belt in data science or data analysis, especially if you’ve wrangled large datasets.
• You’re a whiz with Python and PySpark. Experience with Azure Databricks would be awesome!
• Bonus points if you’ve actually put analytical models into production and kept them humming.
• You can explain super complex stuff clearly to business folks so they can make decisions super fast.
• Naturally, excellent English, both spoken and written, is essential., Honestly, we’d love someone who’s really driven to combat financial crime by building models that genuinely make a difference. You should be organized, precise, and a clear communicator. It’s also great if you can work well with others from different teams and aren’t afraid to take the lead to make things better. We need folks who can handle a fast-paced, high-impact environment. If you’ve got Agile experience, that’s a definite plus!

• Flexible working hours and the possibility of location-independent work, depending on the team’s planning.
• 100% reimbursement of commuting costs if you travel using public transportation. If you commute by car or motorcycle, you can opt for a commuting allowance.
• A pension scheme with a contribution rate of only 5% from your side.
