Job DescriptionAt JPMorganChase, we are seeking team members who are eager to modernize how data is used to identify financial crime risk and improve customer due diligence outcomes. As a Quant Analytics Associate Sr within the Data & Analytics organization supporting AML/KYC operations, you will help move the team beyond traditional Excel-based, retrospective reporting toward proactive and scalable analytical solutions that identify emerging risks, data quality issues, process gaps, and customer trends earlier in the case lifecycle.
In this role, you will focus on designing, building, and maintaining analytically ready datasets that can be used by analysts, operational stakeholders, AI agents, and natural-language query tools. You will partner closely with AML/KYC operations, product owners, data owners, technology teams, and other analytics professionals to transform customer, transaction, and activity data into governed, well-documented, AI-ready data assets.
The successful candidate will bring strong SQL expertise, practical ETL experience, comfort with Python, curiosity about AI-assisted code creation, and a strong ability to independently investigate ambiguous data problems. This role is ideal for someone who wants to combine hands-on data engineering, analytics, controls awareness, and business problem solving to help modernize AML/KYC decision support.
Job Responsibilities:- Design, develop, and maintain analytically ready datasets for AML/KYC operations, including datasets that support proactive monitoring, case prioritization, customer review insights, trend detection, and data quality surveillance.
- Build scalable ETL and data transformation processes that convert raw source-system data into reliable, well-structured, reusable data products for the broader Data & Analytics team.
- Develop AI-ready metadata, business definitions, lineage documentation, data dictionaries, and semantic layers that enable AI agents, self-service analytics, and natural-language querying.
- Use Python/SQL as the primary tool for data extraction, transformation, profiling, validation, and performance optimization across large and complex datasets.
- Apply Python and AI-assisted code generation tools to improve development speed, automate repetitive analytics tasks, create reusable utilities, and support exploratory data analysis.
- Collaborate with analytics and AI teams to ensure datasets are structured for downstream model development, AI-agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented workflows, and natural-language business questions.
- Create data quality checks, reconciliation routines, exception monitoring, and validation frameworks to ensure ARDs are accurate, complete, timely, and fit for purpose.
- Prepare clear documentation and executive-ready presentations summarizing data findings, ARD readiness, development progress, data quality risks, and recommended next steps.
- Provide ongoing production support for data assets, including troubleshooting data issues, answering stakeholder questions, managing enhancements, and communicating impacts of source-system changes.
- Ensure analytics, data transformation, and AI-enablement activities comply with applicable controls, model/data governance expectations, privacy requirements, and regulatory standards.
- Contribute to a culture of innovation by proposing new approaches for data modernization, metadata enrichment, AI enablement, and proactive risk identification.
