Job Description
As a Senior Data Scientist Transaction Monitoring you can have social impact by detecting criminal behavior using analytics models to analyze Rabobank transactions of 8+ million customers.
You and your job
Preventing Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing is one of the key aspects for our society and our organization, and as a bank we play a major role in this field. In order to be effective in fighting financial crime, we need smart individuals like yourself who get their energy from looking into data, patterns and behavior of our customers in order to uncover illegal activities. Together with the team you will be responsible for optimizing our current rule-based Transaction Monitoring (TM) system and eventually (not on short term) for introducing more advanced analytics methodologies such as Machine Learning into our TM models.
This job requires statistical know-how, an analytical mindset and pragmatic operational expertise. And if done successfully, you will make sure that our analysts are able to focus on the true positive alerts – hence spend their time on truly value-adding activities. In other words, in this role you will be on the front line of fighting financial crime.
Practical Examples
We believe in the power of difference. Bringing together people's differences is what makes us an even better bank. So we are very curious about what you can bring to our team.
The ~200 people in our Transaction Monitoring team are responsible for detecting money laundering and terrorism financing risks, using analytics models. Working together is the way we work; as 1 multi-disciplinary, highly talented and motivated team at Rabobank. Talking of Rabobank: We are a Dutch bank that operates in 38 countries for over 9,5000,000 customers. Together with these customers, our members and partners we stand side by side to create a world in which everyone has access to enough healthy food. In the Netherlands we work to create a country in which people are happy with how they live, work and do business.
