Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the AML / Risk Analyst position within your organization. With 4.3 years of experience in transaction monitoring, Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), SAR support, and regulatory reporting within global banking environments, I bring a strong foundation in financial crime compliance combined with data-driven analytical expertise. Currently working with Barclays in Risk & Compliance Analytics, I review large volumes of KYC and transaction monitoring records, conduct EDD for high-risk clients, and support SAR documentation workflows. In addition to core AML responsibilities, I leverage SQL, Power BI, and Advanced Excel to analyze transactional data, identify anomaly patterns, and develop compliance dashboards that enhance leadership visibility. My work has contributed to improved reporting accuracy and operational efficiency through structured validation and automation initiatives. I have also served as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), training over 45 team members in onboarding and account reopening compliance processes, strengthening quality control and risk adherence standards. I am particularly interested in opportunities within the UAE banking and financial services sector due to its strong regulatory framework and international exposure. I am currently based in India and fully open to relocation. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my AML expertise and analytical capabilities to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can add value to your organization. Sincerely, Balaji Sankar balajisankar1006@gmail.com
