We are supporting a largescale financial services transformation initiative in partnership with one of the world’s leading management consulting firms. This engagement supports a major U.S. financial institution and focuses on high-volume, high-impact Suspicious Activity Report (SARs) investigations and regulatory compliance.
This is a multi-year engagement (up to two years) offering stability, exposure to complex financial crime matters, and the opportunity to work within a highly structured, regulator-facing environment. The work is hands-on, investigative, and ideal for professionals looking to deepen their SAR and financial crime expertise while working on a marquee consulting project.
What You'll Do:
- Conduct end-to-end investigations of potentially suspicious financial activity, with a primary focus on SAR drafting and filing in accordance with FinCEN requirements
- Analyze transaction activity, customer behavior, and supporting documentation to identify red flags related to fraud, money laundering, or other financial crimes
- Prepare clear, concise, and well-supported SAR narratives that meet regulatory and internal quality standards
- Document investigative findings to support risk-based decisions and escalation where appropriate
- Partner with internal stakeholders, project leadership, and compliance teams to ensure timely case resolution
- Maintain high standards of accuracy, consistency, and efficiency while managing fluctuating case volumes
- Participate in quality reviews, team huddles, and continuous improvement initiatives related to SAR processes
- Stay current on evolving regulatory guidance, typologies, and best practices in financial crime compliance
What You'll Have:
- 1–3 years of hands-on SAR experience required
- Prior experience in financial crime, AML, fraud investigations, or compliance within a bank or financial institution
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex information into clear written narratives
- Demonstrated experience exercising sound judgment in time-sensitive, regulated environments
- High attention to detail and strong documentation skills
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a structured project team
- Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent professional experience)
Why This Role:
- Long-term engagement (up to 24 months) offering stability not typical of consulting projects
- Exposure to large-scale regulatory and financial crime initiatives at a national level
- Work alongside a top-tier management consulting firm on a highly visible financial services program
- Opportunity to significantly strengthen SAR expertise, regulatory exposure, and resume credibility
- Ideal for professionals seeking depth, consistency, and meaningful impact in financial crime compliance
