You and Your Job

As a FEC Sanctions Analyst, you will be successful by applying analytical skills and professional judgment to review and resolve alerts, ensuring timely and accurate decisions that mitigate risk and uphold internal standards.

Reporting to the FEC Sanctions and Detection Manager for Rabo Diversified Services, the FEC Sanctions Analyst will be primarily responsible for performing first‑line review and disposition of OFAC/Sanctions/Watchlist and PEP alerts generated through manual or automated screening. The analyst verifies alert details against internal records and approved third‑party/open‑source data, clears false positives with timely, well‑supported rationales, and maintains a complete audit trail per policy and SLAs. The analyst escalates confirmed or potential matches and elevated sanctions/AML risks to Financial Crime Compliance (FCC). The role also supports ad hoc projects and cross-functional initiatives, providing opportunities to contribute beyond core responsibilities.
