Financial Crimes Compliance - Risk & Controls Analyst

American Express' Global Financial Crimes Compliance ("GFCC") team is responsible for leading the enterprise-wide Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions, and Anti-Corruption compliance functions. This team has global responsibility for identifying, investigating, and reporting suspicious activity, including money laundering and terrorist financing, and provides broad analytical and operational support for the company's enterprise-wide financial crimes compliance function. GFCC is part of the broader Global Risk & Compliance organization.

The GFCC Risk Assessment Team is responsible for performing enterprise-wide financial crimes risk assessments and reporting, and facilitates alignment across GFCC and broader stakeholder teams in managing and overseeing the financial crimes compliance programs that it owns, which include the Money Laundering, Sanctions, and Bribery & Corruption risk assessments, financial crimes threat assessments, risk and control self-assessments ("RCSAs"), and program health reporting to senior management and relevant committees.

As GFCC embarks on a modernization journey to enhance its platform capabilities, as the enterprise undergoes an uplift to the Operational Risk Management framework, and as the expectations of our regulators continue to grow, we need to ensure that our Financial Crimes program continues to be effective and efficient globally. The successful candidate will support execution of the RCSA process, which involves identifying, assessing, aggregating, mitigating, and reporting on operational and compliance risks that impact GFCC processes globally.

The candidate will partner with GFCC process owners to proactively identify risks, strengthen and thoroughly document the control environment, coordinate control testing, and maintain reporting to accurately and transparently monitor the strength of the control environment. They will be organized, collaborative, and adaptable to thrive in a changing environment.
