Jobs Senior Reporting Analyst FinTech Australia Sydney 2026
Western Union is hiring a Senior Program Reporting Analyst to support its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Team in Sydney. This position operates on a full-time, twenty-four-month fixed-term contract under a hybrid arrangement, balancing remote workflow with collaborative days at the Sydney office. Regulatory expectations across the Australian financial sector are tightening rapidly, especially around cross-border remittances and automated reporting frameworks under AUSTRAC oversight. Joining this division places you at the center of institutional compliance monitoring, where clear records, data integrity, and strict accountability matter every single day.
You'll report straight to the Senior Manager of AML Compliance, running point on analytical initiatives that keep payment networks fully compliant with global standards. You won't simply crunch numbers behind the scenes; you'll handle deep-dive investigations, operational documentation, and direct regulatory alignments across varied payment channels.
Key responsibilities include:
Coordinating multiple regulatory reporting projects at once, managing everything from exploratory research and system testing to user training and post-rollout audits.
Mining structured data sets and combing through unstructured operational files to find underlying transactional patterns and reporting gaps.
Translating complex statutory publications and corporate policy updates into clear, actionable technical specifications.
Running stakeholder discovery sessions across legal, compliance, and engineering units to ensure unified reporting metrics.
Designing repeatable validation routines that ensure submitted regulatory filings remain entirely accurate and timely.
Succeeding in this role requires a solid analytical background within banking, fintech, or specialized compliance environments. You must understand how modern transaction monitoring architectures function and how international remittance records interface with domestic supervisory reporting. Hands-on experience with SQL, advanced spreadsheet modelling, business intelligence dashboards, and regulatory data aggregation tools will make an immediate impact. Strong problem-solving instincts are critical since regulatory inquiries demand swift, unambiguous technical answers under rigid deadlines.
Workplace culture centers on high operational standards and continuous technical refinement. You'll navigate shifting regulatory landscapes while helping reshape legacy remittance infrastructures into modern digital pipelines. The local Australian financial services space demands meticulous oversight, and this office maintains high standards for audit readiness and transparency. If you've spent years unpacking complicated regulatory manuals and turning dense transactional data into crisp management briefings, your skills fit right into this project schedule.
