About The Role

If you're someone who thrives on uncovering patterns, connecting dots, and making sense of complex data to protect the integrity of financial systems—this role is calling your name.

As an AML Investigations Analyst at BOQ Group, you'll be part of a high-performing team that's laser-focused on identifying and investigating suspicious activity across our retail and institutional banking products. You'll dive deep into transaction monitoring alerts, Unusual Activity Reports (UARs), and referrals from our Fraud and Scam teams, using your analytical mindset to assess behaviours and flag anything that doesn't sit right.

Your work will directly support our Suspicious Matter Reporting (SMR) obligations to AUSTRAC, and you'll be instrumental in ensuring our investigations are structured, well-documented, and delivered with precision. You'll be working in alignment with our Financial Crime Strategy and AML/CTF regulatory obligations, helping us stay one step ahead of emerging risks and typologies.

There's also room to stretch beyond the day-to-day—whether it's contributing to continuous improvement initiatives or supporting broader Financial Crime Operations projects. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and be part of a team that's passionate about doing things the right way, we'd love to hear from you.

About You

You – our preferred candidate, you've got experience in a similar role and a solid understanding of the AML/CTF landscape, you know how to interpret transaction data, and how to build a case that stands up to scrutiny. You're confident navigating financial crime processes, and you understand the responsibilities of key regulators and the importance of timely, accurate reporting.

You have worked in banking operations or operational risk before, and if you've submitted SMRs or hold qualifications like ACAMS, ICA, or CCP, that's a bonus

You're a natural communicator—whether it's writing up investigation findings or collaborating with stakeholders across the business. You're curious, methodical, and have a knack for critical thinking. You know how to manage priorities, work independently, and contribute meaningfully to a team.

But more than anything, you bring a proactive mindset, a genuine interest in financial crime risk, and a desire to grow your career in a place that values integrity, collaboration, and purpose. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you
