About the job
The Sanctions Screening and Operations team ensures that Google is not doing business with restricted parties as identified by various governments and intergovernmental agencies.

As a Sanctions Screening and Investigations Compliance Officer, you will be responsible for ensuring the effective and accurate processing of complex alerts, investigations, and reporting related to economic sanctions and export regulations, contributing significantly to Google's sanctions compliance program. You will understand global sanctions regimes, exceptional problem-solving abilities, regulatory requirements and system screening architecture, and the capacity to operate effectively both independently and collaboratively within a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities
- Manage and resolve complex system-generated sanctions alerts, including name screening, transaction monitoring, and country-based restrictions, to identify potential matches.
- Conduct thorough and in-depth investigations of potential sanctions and export controls matches, expertly gathering relevant information and documentation from internal and external sources to determine if a true hit exists.
- Prepare detailed, well-documented, and auditable investigation reports, clearly outlining all investigation steps, comprehensive findings, and well-reasoned conclusions.
- Serve as a subject-matter expert on sanctions screening operations, providing guidance, support, and mentorship to junior analysts and other relevant stakeholders across the organization.
- Contribute to the strategic development and continuous maintenance of sanctions operations policies, procedures, and workflows to ensure robust compliance with evolving global regulations.
