Lead Analyst, Financial Crimes

About This RoleAI processing…

Key Responsibilities

• 1
  What you will own: Vendor Management. You will lead, and support, a team of analysts.
• 2
  Operational rollout of new coverage. When a new typology or scenario goes live, you design how it will be worked — routing, procedure, evidence standard, and quality checks — before the first alert lands.
• 3
  Procedures and documentation. You own the SOPs for your area and keep them in a state where a third party could read them cold and understand what we do and why.
• 4
  You will set the standard for how financial crime work is done here rather than working a queue — defining what good looks like, raising the ceiling for the analysts you lead, and owning the hardest problems on the team end to end.
• 5
  In this role, you can expect to Operate with minimal direction on problems that arrive ambiguous, and you define the approach rather than waiting for one.

  You will lead, and support, a team of analysts.

  When a new typology or scenario goes live, you design how it will be worked — routing, procedure, evidence standard, and quality checks — before the first alert lands.

  You own the SOPs for your area and keep them in a state where a third party could read them cold and understand what we do and why.

Requirements

• 7+ years in financial crime, fraud, or risk investigations at a bank, fintech, payments company, or comparable regulated environment.
• Working command of BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC requirements, and unusual/suspicious activity reporting standards — enough to explain not just the rule but why it exists.
• Deep experience across the transaction monitoring alert lifecycle at real volume, including the operational tradeoffs that come with it.
• Real typology depth across both money laundering and fraud — mule and money movement networks, first-party fraud, synthetic and stolen identity, scams and social engineering, elder financial exploitation, etc.
• Hands-on involvement in scenario tuning or threshold work alongside data or risk partners, with an understanding of what changing a threshold actually costs.
• Experience overseeing vendor or outsourced investigation teams.
• Judgment under volume. You can distinguish the case that deserves forty hours from the one that deserves forty minutes.
• Comfort with sustained ambiguity. You will spend real time on hypotheses that do not pan out, and you need the judgment to know when to stop.
• Advanced SQL, and fluency with graph or link analysis tooling for mapping relationships at scale.
• CAMS, CFE, or equivalent certification preferred.
