E pā ana ki a SkyCity | About SkyCity

Are you someone who can spot red flags early, unravel complex behavioural patterns, and stay cool under the pressure of a fast‑paced workload?

Our Financial Crime Operations team is on the hunt for a Financial Crime Analyst to join our high‑performing, supportive crew. In this role, you’ll gain end‑to‑end exposure to our financial‑crime processes—from alert generation and initial triage to detailed case investigations and potential reporting to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

We’re looking for people who want to make a real impact in keeping our business, customers, and community safe—while balancing the seriousness of the work with a positive attitude and strong teamwork.

At SkyCity, we’re passionate about safeguarding our business and customers from financial crime and mitigating risks such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and bribery & corruption. The work is high‑stakes, but we believe in working hard and bringing the fun, energy, and camaraderie that keep us going.

If you’re a sharp thinker who thrives in an upbeat, team‑focused environment, we want YOU on our team.
