Your mission:

• Get the job done. You're comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy and managing evolving priorities to deliver against the team's strategy.

• Travel. You will be based in Tallinn together with a number of other CMT colleagues, but you'll also work with our colleagues in other locations. You'll be ready to travel occasionally in order to meet your objectives. 

• Expertise. You have several years of working experience under your belt, including at least 1 year of experience in the AML Investigations and/or AML Reporting space and are working / have worked as an agent in other Fincrime domains (e.g. Fraud, Verification, Surveillance). 

This role is right for you if:
