Manager-Compliance - Insider Investigations

American Express's US Investigations Unit (USIU) is part of the broader Global Risk & Compliance organization, operating within Global Financial Crimes Compliance (GFCC). USIU provides oversight and support for global financial crimes investigations. In partnership with teams across the financial crimes organization, USIU develops and implements transaction monitoring rules, reports, and other tools to detect potential criminal activity. They investigate suspicious financial behavior and, when necessary, file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) or refer cases to internal compliance partners for global reporting.

USIU plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with key regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and the USA PATRIOT Act. They also support law enforcement by providing critical information to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, credit card fraud, identity theft, and other financial crimes.

The Manager, Insider Investigations, will support the Insider Risk Program by conducting and overseeing investigations involving potential insider risk activity involving American Express colleagues, contractors, affiliates, vendors, or partners. The role will be responsible for reviewing investigative findings, supporting Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) preparation and filing activities, identifying emerging trends, and partnering with key stakeholders across compliance, security, and audit functions.

The successful candidate will possess strong investigative, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and contribute to continuous process improvement.
