Technical Specialist – AML/KYC Regulatory Technology (Contract)
Toronto, ON · Hybrid (2 days/week onsite, downtown) · 6-month contract with strong likelihood of extension
Our client, one of Canada’s Big 5 banks, has recently consolidated its AML, KYC and regulatory compliance technology work into one team that covers every line of business. When an audit finding or a new regulatory requirement exposes a gap, this team delivers the technology fix end to end. Current work spans two portfolios: AML/KYC (including making customer and KYC data compliant) and tax reporting to the CRA and IRS.
They’re looking for a Technical Specialist to own the solution on these initiatives. You’d be the person who understands the project’s scope, design and testing best. This isn’t a hands-on development role, but you need enough technical background to review code and data logic and work credibly with developers and architects.
What you’ll do
- Own end-to-end delivery of technology solutions for AML/KYC and tax regulatory initiatives.
- Work with business partners and Business Analysts to make sure AML and KYC requirements are captured correctly and translated into accurate technical requirements.
- Partner with the Solution Architect to confirm the design is sound, meets the requirements and avoids cross-impacts, with dependencies identified.
- Look beyond the project: rollout, enterprise dependencies, technical debt, parallel initiatives such as cloud migrations, and required approvals.
- Act as the go-to person for developers, including quick code reviews to confirm requirements are being built correctly.
- Review test packages and test cases with QA to make sure every user story is covered.
What you bring
- Hands-on experience delivering technology for AML or KYC, such as transaction monitoring, customer risk rating, CDD/EDD, sanctions screening or KYC data, with a solid understanding of what those requirements demand.
- A technical background, whether development, test automation or SQL/data work, that lets you review code and data logic with developers.
- Experience owning or leading delivery across business, BA, architecture, development and QA teams.
- Intermediate-level experience. Depth of AML/KYC knowledge matters more than total years.
- Clear communication with both technology and business partners.
Nice to have
- KYC or customer data remediation experience.
- Exposure to tax reporting (CRA/IRS, FATCA/CRS). Not required, since the flow can be learned on the job.
Pay: $63/hr - $87/hr (max T4 rate - $70/hr, max C2C rate - $87/hr)
