The SIU ERT Investigations Manager leads a specialized investigative team responsible for proactively identifying, analyzing, and investigating emerging financial crime risks and typologies. Operating within an intelligence-led, threat-driven framework, the role integrates external intelligence (e.g., open-source reporting, law enforcement and industry engagement) and internal data to detect evolving threats and anticipate risk exposure.

  • Developing a strong interaction model with industry peers to promote collaboration related to financial crime threats
  • Coordinating the intake of financial crime intelligence or the sharing identified suspicious activity with law enforcement
  • Providing executive-level briefing to internal and external stakeholders
  • Monitoring changes in legal and regulatory frameworks related to BSA compliance
  • Ensuring confidentiality requirements are observed and data is protected

  • Excellent analytical, communication, and leadership skills
  • Ability to adapt to a changing environment
  • Stronge knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, along with general proficiency in adapting to new software applications
  • Experience with banking operations, products and services, systems and associated risks and controls
  • Certifications: CAMS, CFE, or comparable credentials preferred
