Senior AML & Risk Analyst

The Transaction Monitoring team is responsible for identifying and investigating potentially suspicious activity across Trustly’s payment flows. The team assesses transactional behaviour, detects risk patterns, and ensures timely escalation and reporting in line with regulatory requirements.

A core focus of the team is improving detection quality through data and machine learning. Working closely with analytics, Transaction Monitoring combines ML-driven signals with expert review to reduce false positives, improve accuracy, and ensure meaningful risk coverage. The goal is to stop financial crime effectively while supporting smooth, low-friction experiences for consumers and merchants.
