Job Title

TM Tuning and Testing Expert

Job Description

As a TM Tuning and Testing Expert you contribute to Rabobank proactively protecting its customers, society, and itself against (facilitation of) money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF) by continuously improving Transaction Monitoring (TM) detection rules.

You and your job

Preventing financial economic crime (FEC) is one of the key aspects for our society and our organization, and as a bank we play a major role in this field. As TM Tuning and Testing Expert you have a strong understanding of money laundering and terrorism financing risks and typologies. You have an expert role in TM issues and can apply your knowledge of the ML/TF risks associated with specific customer segments, products, and services, to complex proposals for TM rule design changes ensuring improvements of the current TM ruleset.

As TM Tuning and Testing Expert, you are part of the TM Control Standards department within the Transaction Monitoring pillar of the Financial Economic Crime organization. You work with internal stakeholders in a dynamic and innovative landscape. TM Tuning and Testing Experts work with multiple stakeholders and together with highly talented and motivated colleagues. Your ability to translate ML/TF risks into proposals for changes to TM rule requirements and simplify complex issues plays a pivotal role in the improvement of our TM detection rules. As part of this job, you handle complex TM issues either independently or in collaboration, gather and analyze data to substantiate your insights and advice, engage with domestic and international stakeholders, and collaborate across the FEC organization.

Practical examples

As TM Tuning and Testing Expert you will:

Work together with other TM Tuning and Testing Experts and Data Scientists to make proposals for changes to TM rules that will enhance risk coverage and improve the detection of patterns or behaviors.

You take the lead in applying your knowledge of ML and TF risks in analyzing TM production data, to facilitate decision-making in proposals for TM rule design changes and get internal stakeholders on board to support these changes.

Leverage your knowledge on emerging risks, typologies and regulatory changes to optimize TM rules, substantiating your vision for TM design changes with data-driven analyses. As part of this process, you consider TM production data from a quantitative and qualitative perspective to investigate the impact of the data on the current TM detection rules.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including FEC Technology, TM Operations, and Compliance to ensure effective implementation of TM rules.
