Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States Alerus Full time
Position Overview:
The Senior BSA/AML Investigator plays a crucial role within a dedicated team aimed at identifying and mitigating risks associated with illicit financial activities, including money laundering and terrorist financing. This position is responsible for analyzing unusual transaction patterns and ensuring compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act. The investigator will prepare detailed case summaries, manage case dispositions, and complete Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) as necessary. A key aspect of this role involves mentoring junior investigators and addressing complex cases escalated by them. The nature of this position requires adaptability to unique situations rather than strictly following predefined instructions. Attention to detail and strong analytical capabilities are essential for recognizing suspicious activities. The investigator must exercise sound judgment and maintain the highest level of confidentiality regarding sensitive information, all while operating under the supervision of the BSA Officer.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Transaction Analysis and Investigation - 20%:
  • Identify and investigate suspicious activities through various BSA alerts, reports, and systems.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of investigations within the Verafin case management system.
  • Collaborate with other departments to resolve suspicious activity inquiries.
  • Recognize activities necessitating SAR filings and work with the BSA Officer on submissions.
  • Foster strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders through effective communication.
  • Recommend process improvements to enhance Alerus' ability to detect suspicious activities.
  • Escalate complex or sensitive cases to the BSA Officer.
2. Team Collaboration and Support - 30%:
  • Act as a subject matter expert on relevant systems, processes, and regulations.
  • Identify training needs and assist the BSA Officer in developing training materials and delivering training sessions.
  • Resolve issues independently and make operational decisions in the absence of the BSA Officer.
  • Provide support for team projects and ensure service levels are maintained.
  • Propose and implement process efficiencies.
  • Assist team members with troubleshooting complex issues.
  • Contribute to key initiatives within the BSA department.
  • Provide backup coverage for Fraud processes as needed.
  • Participate actively in team meetings and maintain procedural documentation.
3. Senior-Level Oversight - 40%:
  • Stay informed on Verafin updates, analyze documentation, and suggest process enhancements.
  • Conduct quality reviews of junior investigators' work.
  • Evaluate cases from junior staff to determine appropriate actions.
  • Assist with Verafin model tuning and validation.
  • Manage 314(b) collaboration requests.
  • Support the preparation of regulatory Money Laundering Reports (MLR).
  • Conduct enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients and products.
  • Assist the BSA Officer as required.
  • Assign AML alerts to junior investigators.
  • Provide audit support and troubleshoot data processing issues with Verafin.
4. Compliance and Professional Development - 10%:
  • Participate in all mandatory training as outlined in the performance plan.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of all relevant systems.
  • Pursue continuing education and self-development opportunities.
  • Engage actively in user groups and networking opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Position Requirements:
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with a minimum of 5 years in the financial services sector.
  • Prior experience in banking or financial services is essential.
  • At least 5 years of experience in BSA and/or Fraud analytics.
  • Familiarity with BSA/AML and Fraud Detection Systems, preferably Verafin or similar.
  • Strong investigative and research skills utilizing various systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
  • Proficient computer skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks effectively.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills.
Personal Attributes:
  • Client-focused and positive attitude.
  • Self-driven, confident, and open to new challenges.
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality.
  • Professional demeanor and appearance.
  • Dedication to ongoing learning.
  • Punctual and reliable.
Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to sit for extended periods while using office equipment.
  • Proficient in operating a personal computer for up to 8 hours daily.
  • Review both physical and electronic documents extensively.
  • Occasional requirements to stand, walk, reach, and perform light lifting of up to 20 lbs.
  • Primarily indoor work environment.
  • Flexibility to work outside of standard hours for project needs.
