Financial Crime Analyst

Flex is building an AI-native private bank for business owners. The Financial Crime Analyst will review transaction monitoring alerts, conduct KYC due diligence, and help protect the platform and customers from money laundering, fraud, and other illicit activity. The role also supports quality assurance, process improvement, regulatory compliance, and ongoing AML program development.

What you'll do:

• Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts, applying BSA/AML typologies to distinguish suspicious activity from false positives
• Draft clear, well-supported case narratives and escalate higher-risk activity for supervisory review
• Contribute to UAR/SAR filing support under the direction of senior team members
• Conduct KYC reviews for new and existing customers, verifying identity documents and assessing risk profiles
• Identify customers that warrant enhanced due diligence (EDD) and flag for escalation
• Maintain accurate, complete records in our case management system
• Assist with periodic quality assurance and file reviews, including for our bank partner program
• Help identify patterns or process gaps that could improve detection coverage or review efficiency
• Participate in team training and stay current on evolving AML typologies and regulatory guidance

What they're looking for:

• 1–2 years of experience in BSA/AML compliance, fraud operations, or a related financial crimes role (internship or co-op experience considered)
• Working knowledge of KYC/CDD requirements and BSA obligations
• Strong written communication — you can explain why something is or isn't suspicious in plain language
• High attention to detail and comfort working through ambiguous or incomplete information
• Ability to manage a queue and prioritize effectively
• Embody a growth mindset and bring a self-driven mentality to your work
• Experience with a transaction monitoring platform (e.g., Sardine, Unit21, Actimize, or similar)
• Exposure to fintech, payments, or BaaS program compliance
• CAMS or other AML certification in progress or completed

Benefits:

• Fully remote work option
• Flex invests in the team's development and supports professional certifications
• Meaningful equity if you help build something big
• Direct access to leadership, customers, and investors
