Lead Analyst, Financial CrimesActive

The opportunity

Chime's Financial Crimes team protects millions of members from money laundering, fraud, and the organized networks that target consumer financial platforms. We work in a bank-partner model: we run detection and investigation, and we escalate unusual activity to our bank partners, who hold the filing obligation.

What you'll do

  • Operate with minimal direction on problems that arrive ambiguous, and you: define the approach rather than waiting for one.

  • Set the quality standard others calibrate to with defensible judgement calls.

  • Move work across team boundaries without formal authority, and you are: trusted to represent Financial Crimes to partners outside the function.

  • Raise the ceiling of the people around you: through calibration, coaching, documentation, and the examples you set in your own casework.

  • Improve the system, not just the case. Every hard investigation should leave: behind something reusable: a control, a procedure, a detection change, or a documented typology.

  • What you will own: Vendor Management. You will lead, and support, a team of analysts.

What they're looking for

  • Vendor team quality. You sample operations work, run calibration with: partners, keep apprised of quality assurance trends, and hold quality and productivity expectations where they belong.
  • Risk trend analysis. You understand AML and Fraud risks well enough to follow: the pattern of unusual activity across accounts, devices, funding sources, counterparties, and behavioral patterns, and you can show the shape of a network in a way a non-investigator understands.
  • Typology development. You document new and evolving schemes, make them: teachable to the wider team, identify if opportunities in coverage are needed, and own the creation of coverage with partners as appropriate.
  • Operational rollout of new coverage. When a new typology or scenario goes: live, you design how it will be worked — routing, procedure, evidence standard, and quality checks — before the first alert lands.
