• Strengthen the Second Line of Defense (2LoD) by developing oversight processes, escalation protocols, and high-impact training programs for US-based and global analysts.

• Collaborate with global product and engineering teams to enhance automated monitoring tools and rulesets based on US risk signals, global typologies, and cross-border exposure.

• The ability to engage credibly with internal stakeholders, regulators, law enforcement, and industry partners as a subject matter expert on US financial crime risks with global implications.

• Strong knowledge of US BSA/AML and sanctions requirements, including SAR reporting, OFAC expectations, FinCEN guidance, and regulatory expectations for fintech and virtual asset activity.

• Strong knowledge of US and global virtual asset typologies and illicit-finance risks, including cross-border stablecoin and blockchain activity.

• Hands-on experience using blockchain analytics and transaction monitoring systems to identify suspicious activity.
