- Proven experience reconciling results and explaining why discrepancies exist
- Background in financial services or regulated environments
Plusses
- AML or Financial Crime domain experience
- Payments data exposure (Wires, SWIFT preferred)
- Prior system or rule migration experience
- Familiarity with SAS Viya
