Are you ready to step into a high-impact role where your expertise directly influences risk decisions, regulatory outcomes, and team performance? We are seeking a Senior Investigative Specialist to join our Financial Crimes team within Compliance/AML.
This is a unique opportunity to step into a highly visible, high-impact role at the center of financial crime risk management. As a Senior Investigative Specialist, you will lead complex investigations that directly protect the firm, its clients, and its reputation—while helping shape how emerging risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated.

You’ll lead end-to-end investigations—from initial detection through resolution and regulatory reporting—using advanced analytics to uncover patterns, identify anomalies, and detect evolving financial crime risks.
You’ll also play a critical role in strengthening the firm’s control environment by influencing process improvements, supporting regulatory compliance (BSA/AML, OFAC, FinCEN), and driving consistency in investigative standards.

Partner with Compliance, Legal, business teams, and external agencies to support investigations
Recommend process and control improvements to mitigate risk
Support SAR decisioning and filings in alignment with regulatory requirements
Help drive consistency in investigative practices and standards
Share expertise through training and collaboration with teammates
