We are now expanding our Frankfurt team and are seeking an Anti Financial Crime AI Consultant (AI Interpreter / AI-Enhanced Business Analyst / AI Process Consultant) with deep KYC / AFC experience to help clients redesign risk assessment and onboarding processes using AI-driven insights.

You will translate regulatory requirements and business needs into AI-enabled workflows, ensuring that data, models, and outputs align with operational and compliance controls.

This role suits someone with a hybrid skillset across business analysis, AML/KYC expertise, process optimisation, and an understanding of how AI systems can be safely and effectively applied within financial institutions.

• Serve as the liaison between compliance, operations, and data/AI engineering teams to clarify business logic and model needs.

• Evaluate AI outputs (e.g., document extraction, entity resolution, transaction risk indicators) and interpret results for business stakeholders.

• Develop target operating models incorporating AI-enabled decisioning and exception management.

• Lead workshops to educate stakeholders on AI capabilities, risks, and usage within regulated processes.

• Support algorithm validation activities, model governance, explainability requirements, and documentation.

• Define data requirements, business rules, and acceptance criteria for AI-assisted onboarding and AFC processes.

• Conduct impact assessments, risk assessments, and change analysis to ensure alignment with EU/BAFIN regulations.

• Create user stories, process flows, test cases, and implementation plans.

• Support UAT, workflow integration testing, and go-live activities for AI-enabled tooling.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Experience in roles such as business analyst, process optimisation specialist, model interpreter, or AI-enablement consultant.

• Solid understanding of client lifecycle management (CLM) and onboarding in private banking or wealth management.

• Experience with AI, machine learning, NLP or automation technologies (e.g., document intelligence, case triage, workflow automation).

• Strong ability to interpret AI/ML outputs and explain findings to compliance and business stakeholders.

• Experience in simplifying and re-engineering manual processes with measurable efficiency gains.

• Knowledge of EU and German (BaFin) KYC/AFC regulatory frameworks.

• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to create structured documentation and clear process flows.

• Excellent communication skills and stakeholder engagement ability.

• Proficiency in German and English.
  
  

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Exposure to AI/ML platforms or vendors used in KYC (e.g., Ayasdi, Quantexa, ComplyAdvantage, Pega, Appway, Fenergo, OCR/NLP tools).
