Conduct structured shift handovers, ensuring all open items, outstanding alerts, and critical context are communicated to the relieving analyst.
Adhere to all monitoring protocols, compliance requirements, and standard operating procedures relevant to the role.
Identify and report recurring alert patterns or system behaviours that may indicate emerging fraud trends or system risks.

COMPETENCIES / ATTRIBUTES:

Attention to detail - accurately identifies patterns, anomalies, and discrepancies across high volumes of transactions and alerts.
