PNC is hiring a Senior AML Sanctions Analyst within its Real Time Solutions organization to review and investigate escalated Zelle transactions for potential sanctions risks.
Role Requirements and Daily Responsibilities
The Senior AML Sanctions Analyst focuses on screening alerts, entity matching, due diligence, and regulatory compliance for domestic and international wire transactions. Analysts review transactions involving individuals, entities, countries, vessels, and other sanctioned parties to determine whether automated system alerts represent true sanctions matches or false positives.
Daily duties require managing a high-volume, queue-based workflow on a first-in, first-out basis while meeting service-level agreements and maintaining accuracy. Analysts must document investigative findings, rationale, and disposition decisions in accordance with regulatory and internal requirements. Additional responsibilities include escalating complex or high-risk concerns to senior leadership or compliance partners, collaborating with business operations, and supporting audit or regulatory examination requests.
Candidate Qualifications and Experience
Applicants must possess experience working in a high-volume, queue-based processing environment along with strong analytical, investigative, organizational, written, and verbal communication skills. Candidates need the ability to compare transaction details with sanctions screening results to separate true matches from false positives. Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and compliance-related systems is required.
The position typically requires a university or college degree with a bachelor’s degree, though a comparable combination of education, certifications, and experience will be considered. Preferred skills include compliance reporting, customer risk management, regulatory requirements, risk assessments, and internal controls. Prior experience reviewing payment transactions for compliance or risk concerns is listed as a plus. Employment visa sponsorship and STEM OPT participation are not available for this opening.
