About the role

This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $75-$100 per hour

We're building a high-quality library of realistic financial-crime and KYC analyst work products. You'll complete self-contained case exercises from mock files (no live-system or client-data access) and produce the analyst deliverable for each — the same work you'd do on the job, graded against a rubric. Every client-style output ends as a draft.
