Financial Crime Analyst
- **24-month max term contract**:

- **Role can be based in Sydney (Parramatta), Adelaide, Melbourne or Gold Coast**:

- **Full-time role (Monday-Friday)**

**How will I help?**

The Financial Crime Surveillance (FCS) team is part of Westpac's Risk Division and is responsible for detecting, deterring and fighting financial crime. This role is part of the first line of defence for financial crime related risks such as anti-money laundering, sanctions, KYC and customer due diligence.

As a Financial Crime Analyst, you'll play a crucial role in safeguarding our financial ecosystem. You'll dive deep into cases, using a blend of critical thinking and investigative skills to uncover potential financial crimes.

Your day to day will look like:

- **Case Management**: Receive and manage cases assigned by managers, tackling each with a fresh perspective.
- **Investigation**: Utilize a detailed checklist to guide your analysis, perform transactional analysis, and investigate discrepancies.
- **Data Analysis**: Work with large data sets to identify unusual patterns and behaviours.
- **Customer Insight**: Get to know customers in-depth by examining their financial transactions and online presence.

**What's in it for me?**
- **Flexible Work Schedule**: Monday to Friday with flexible start and finish times.
- **Hybrid Work Environment**: Start with full-time in-office work for the first couple of months, then transition to a hybrid working model (3 days in the office, 2 days working from home).
- **Dynamic Work**: No two cases are the same, offering you a stimulating and varied work experience.
- **Supportive Culture**: Access to resources and guidance from a supportive team.

You'll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for over 200 years. Our purpose is to create better futures together. So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grow your career, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure. Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.

**What do I need?**
- Experience within banking or financial services.
- You will bring previous experience within Financial Crime.
- Investigative mindset and strong analytical skills.
- Critical thinking and the ability to interpret information and make decisions.
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own case load.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Computer literacy with ability to work with multiple systems with ease.

**What's it like to work there?**

We are a collaborative team of passionate people with a shared vision to make a difference for our customers, our communities and each other. At Westpac, making a difference means creating impact, unlocking our own and each other's passions, and transformative success stories to create better futures together.
As well as competitive remuneration and a great culture, joining the Westpac family gives you access to a wide range of employee benefits to help you manage your priorities - whether that means family life, work/life balance, desire to grow or all the little perks in between.

We'll empower you to shape your career path. Through personalised upskilling, mentoring, and training opportunities, you're in control of where you start and how you'll grow. As an equal opportunity employer, we are proud to have created a culture and work environment that values diversity and flexibility - and champions inclusion.
