What to expect as a BSA (Bank Secrecy Act) Analyst
The BSA Analyst plays a critical role in safeguarding Climate First Bank against financial crime and ensuring compliance with all federal, state, and regulatory requirements related to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), OFAC, and anti-money laundering (AML) standards. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role where your expertise will help protect our customers, uphold our values, and maintain the integrity of our operations. This is a remote US based position.
What You’ll Contribute in This Role:
• Regulatory Compliance Excellence You’ll serve as a guardian of compliance, maintaining a deep and current understanding of BSA, OFAC, and AML regulations. Your role ensures Climate First Bank stays ahead of evolving laws and industry standards, protecting both the institution and its customers from financial crime.
• Alert Investigation & Case Management Using tools like Verafin FRAML and other monitoring systems, you’ll review and analyze alerts with precision. Your investigative work will involve digging into transaction details, identifying patterns, and determining whether activity warrants escalation—all while documenting findings thoroughly.
• Fraud Detection & Risk Mitigation You’ll play a key role in identifying and addressing potential fraud. This includes researching flagged transactions, assessing risk levels, and escalating issues promptly to prevent losses. Your ability to act quickly and decisively will help safeguard the bank’s reputation and financial integrity.
• Reporting & Documentation Accuracy is critical in compliance reporting. You’ll prepare and submit Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) with meticulous attention to detail. Maintaining comprehensive records for audits and regulatory reviews will be a cornerstone of your responsibilities.
• Customer Risk Reviews You’ll conduct periodic reviews of high- and medium-risk customers, ensuring ongoing monitoring aligns with internal policies and regulatory expectations. Your work will help the bank maintain a strong risk posture and identify emerging threats before they escalate.
• Wire & ACH Analysis You’ll perform regular analysis of wire transfers and ACH activity to detect anomalies and mitigate potential risks. This proactive approach helps ensure that payment channels remain secure and compliant with all applicable regulations.
• Champion our Mission fiercely and passionately You’ll adopt and practice a commitment to social, economic, environmental, and racial justice. You will apply curiosity and interest in our core values and pursue education related to sustainability practices.
• Protect our Organization and our Customers You will quickly pursue and demonstrate an understanding of all established Bank policies, procedures, and regulations, but especially those defined by BSA, AML, CIP, and OFAC. Recognizing the importance of protecting the organization and our customers, you will question suspicious activity and stay in close collaboration with our Compliance department to ensure proper investigation and processing of potentially fraudulent activity. You will stay informed on legal context and regulatory requirements and prioritize completing all web-based compliance and IT training.
What You’ll Leverage in this Role:
• Your Experience and Education You bring a solid foundation in banking compliance, ideally with a bachelor’s degree in a related field and ACAMS certification. Multiple years of hands-on experience preparing SARs, generating CTRs, and investigating suspicious activity will set you up for success. If you’ve worked with BSA/AML regulations and understand how they apply in practice, you’re ready for this challenge.
• Your Entrepreneurial Self-Starter Mentality This role requires initiative and independence. You won’t have direct reports, so your ability to take ownership of tasks, prioritize effectively, and move projects forward without constant oversight is critical. If you thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy solving problems proactively, you’ll excel here.
• Your Master Communicator Expertise You’ll need to communicate complex compliance findings clearly and professionally to internal stakeholders. This includes writing detailed reports, explaining investigative outcomes, and escalating issues tactfully. If you can translate technical compliance language into actionable insights, you’re the communicator we need.
• Your Tech-Forward Thinking Comfort with compliance technology is essential. Experience with Verafin FRAML or similar case management systems is highly preferred, and strong Excel skills will help you analyze data efficiently. If you’re quick to learn new platforms and enjoy leveraging technology to improve processes, you’ll thrive in this role.
•Your Organization & Efficiency Guru Status Managing multiple alerts, reports, and deadlines requires exceptional organizational skills. You should be able to maintain meticulous records, track follow-ups, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks—even under pressure. If you’re known for your ability to juggle priorities and deliver accurate work on time, this is your arena.
•Your Commitment to Being a Team Player While this is an individual contributor role, collaboration is key. You’ll work closely with compliance leadership and other departments to resolve issues and maintain regulatory integrity. If you value teamwork, share knowledge freely, and contribute to a positive, mission-driven culture, you’ll fit right in.
