The role is fully remote in 23 select states or hybrid for those located in the NYC Metro area.

Key Responsibilities:

Reporting Development & Management

• Design, build, and maintain recurring and on-demand reporting for the FIU, including operational, production, and risk-based metrics that support day-to-day management and regulatory reporting needs.
• Manage the FIU’s reporting suite end to end, ensuring reports are accurate, timely, well-documented, and aligned to the needs of leadership and key stakeholders.
• Automate manual reporting processes wherever possible, using SQL, Python, and related tools to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
• Develop and maintain dashboards and data visualizations that make trends and performance readily accessible to FIU leadership and partners.

 Data Mining & Investigative Support

• Conduct data mining and analysis across large, complex datasets to support investigations, including identifying linkages, patterns, and anomalies relevant to potentially suspicious activity.
• Partner with investigators and Team Leads to scope analytical requests, extract relevant data, and deliver clear, well-documented findings that strengthen case quality and timeliness.
• Build repeatable queries and analytical routines to support recurring investigative, lookback, and remediation needs.

Transaction Monitoring & Manual Surveillance

• Perform manual monitoring and surveillance for product-specific needs not fully addressed by automated systems, documenting methodology and results in a clear and defensible manner.
• Analyze transaction activity to identify emerging typologies, risks, and gaps in existing monitoring coverage.
• Recommend enhancements to monitoring rules, thresholds, and segmentation based on data-driven analysis.

Sardine Implementation Support

• Help inform reporting and transaction monitoring requirements in support of the Bank’s Sardine implementation, translating business and regulatory needs into clear data and detection specifications.
• Support testing, tuning, and validation activities, including analysis of alerts, scenarios, and model output to ensure effective and risk-appropriate coverage.
• Collaborate with technology, compliance, and vendor partners to ensure data feeds, mappings, and outputs meet FIU needs.

Ad Hoc Analytics & Cross-Functional Support

• Respond to ad hoc requests for data analytics and insights from FIU leadership, Compliance, and business partners, delivering accurate and timely analysis under varying timelines.
• Translate analytical results into clear narratives and recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
