Position: Product Analyst
Category: Business Analyst
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 4


My academic credentials include a BA in Business Administration and an MA degree in Innovation and Technology Management where I gained extensive knowledge of business analytics, business processes, and product management. During my master’s studies, I worked in Veriff, an identity verification provider, which provided me with in-depth insight and experience into the regulatory mechanisms of AML Compliance and KYC for businesses. While employed there, I was monitoring and investigating verification activities, identifying potential bonus hunters & fraud rings, and combating digital fraud. By utilizing data analytics tools, I was identifying and analyzing potential fraud patterns and coming up with a countermeasure based on actionable insights from large datasets.

In my current role as a Product Analyst for AML Compliance solutions, I am responsible for the maintenance, development, testing, and configuration of anti-financial crime systems and tools. I investigate fraudulent transaction patterns, identify issues and risks, and then create scenarios and detection methods to tackle the latest money laundering and terrorist financing attempts. Carrying out business requirements analysis of AML Compliance solutions and translating requirements to the IT side are part of my duties. I propose potential product developments based on data by employing SQL and KNIME for accurate Customer Risk Scoring, Sanctions Screening, Transactions, and Fraud monitoring. Additionally, I perform transaction mapping, user acceptance testing, and incident handling on a daily basis. 

My on-the-job experience has afforded me a keen eye for detail, the ability to work with different stakeholders, and a clear understanding of business processes. Working in cross-functional teams to build solutions against anti-financial crime has helped me to sharpen my critical thinking, problem-solving as well as communication skills. During these years, I had the chance to be involved with the full product development lifecycle, including setting goals for products, measuring the results, and quantifying the impact of features on the business. I believe these experiences allow me to take on challenges and responsibilities for a position like Product Analyst.
