Job Summary:

Reporting into the Head of FCC Investigations, which is part of GFCD Operations within the Global Financial Crimes Division, this position is responsible for leading the Global Complex Investigations (GCI) function--marshaling the talent of a global team with a direct reporting line, and regional teams, with matrix reporting.

GCI coordinates Global Exposure Reviews in significant matters with global impact or of a highly sensitive nature; GCI coordinates and undertakes global complex investigations into potential financial crimes risks that could have a significant impact on the Bank, and GCI engages with law enforcement and peer institutions to stay abreast of and internalize relevant financial crimes typologies.

GCI works closely with Financial Crimes Advisory partners in the Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions and Anti-Bribery and Corruption space. Together, the teams ensure that potential financial crimes risk identified by GCI is mitigated.

The work of GCI enjoys a high-level executive audience within and outside of the Financial Crimes function. As a result, GCI is expected to deliver oral briefings and written products of the highest caliber. The GCI Manager is called on daily to demonstrate not only SME complex investigations expertise, but also strategic vision, leadership, sophisticated judgment, and problem-solving skills. The GCI Manager must adeptly manage direct and matrix reports, and a heavy caseload of predominantly sensitive or high-priority cases.

The ideal candidate is someone with substantial experience running, or assisting in the running, of a function whose consumers are high-level managers and executives; who has experience setting and implementing strategic direction—finding opportunities to deliver the greatest impact with available resources; who has a demonstrated history of creating and nurturing relationships across, and outside of, the organization to enhance the function’s impact and deliver a holistic view of risk to executive-level stakeholders. The candidate must possess sophisticated written and oral presentation skills and demonstrated experience running a high-impact program.

Major Responsibilities:

• Set the strategic direction of GCI—continuously adapting the program to changing environments;

• Manage GCI’s human capital and other resources to deliver efficiently and effectively on that strategic vision;

• Collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure that potential financial crimes risk is acted on in a timely way;

• Communicate to key stakeholders, including leadership of the Global Financial Crimes Division, emerging risks, new significant matters, progress in ongoing matters, financial crimes risk identified within the Bank, and plans for addressing any such risk;

• Leverage information and leads from both internal and external sources to help inform the strategy of AML Compliance;

• Coordinate with regional FCC Investigations and FCC Data Analysis teams to implement the global model; and

• Prepare communications and presentations to be shared with business line executives and senior management.

Experience/Skills

• Bachelor's Degree.

• At least 8-10 years of experience in a Bank, government agency or law enforcement agency in a function that demonstrates expertise in AML, BSA and Financial Crimes.

• Experience interacting with the Executive Committee Leadership, control function leadership, and compliance subject matter experts.

• Proven excellence in execution in complex and demanding situations; with a demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Collaborative with strong interpersonal communication skills.

• Systemic thinker across enterprise.

• Process oriented coupled with a strong ability to develop appropriate program enhancing strategies.

• Detail-oriented and organized execution.

• Executive level presentation skills (oral and written).

• An Enterprise Risk Management perspective.

Additional skills
