Senior Business and Functional Analyst – Transaction Monitoring (TM) Modelling
Group Strategic Analytics (GSA) is part of Group Chief Operation Office (COO) which acts as the bridge between Deutsche Bank’s business and infrastructure functions to help deliver the efficiency, control, and transformation goals of the Bank.
You will work within the GSA Team on model strategy and deployment of TM. You will be familiar with the most recent data science methodologies and have a delivery-centric attitude, strong analytical skills, and a meticulous approach to breaking down complex matters into more understandable details.
The purpose of Payment Behavior Analysis and Modelling (PBAM) is to identify and investigate unusual customer transactions and behavior, to understand if that activity is considered suspicious from a financial crime perspective, and to report that activity to the government. You will be responsible for improving, implementing, and maintaining the models for TM.

- Lead and contribute to designing and optimizing data workflows using SQL and Python for acquisition, validation, ETL, and reporting, as well as building scalable pipelines that feed dashboards and regulatory management information.
- Develop and evolve reporting and analytics to monitor model performance and health, define Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), and automate performance monitoring to ensure ongoing effectiveness.
- Translate business understanding into TM rules, algorithms, and thresholds, partnering across Anti-Financial Crime (AFC), Technology, Investigations, and Model Review to modernize capabilities such as segmentation, alert risk scoring, and challenger models, while preparing crisp materials for senior and supervisory engagements.
- Investigate data quality issues, conduct root-cause analysis, and track remediation, ensuring timely closure and transparent communication to governance forums.
- Collaborate and partner with First Line of Defence (1LOD), Business Product Owners and AFC to translate business requirements into TM specifications, leveraging Red Flag Repositories and Risk Assessments to evidence coverage against typologies and regulatory expectations.
- Review and resolve Anti-Money Laundering (AML) TM findings promptly, coordinating with AFC stakeholders to strengthen controls and modernize monitoring capabilities.
