In het kort

We are looking for an experienced, data-driven researcher/project manager within the Financial Economic Crime Risk Assessment (FECRA) department. In this role, you will identify and mitigate risks related to financial crime by conducting large-scale thematic and data-driven investigations. Do you have extensive experience in project and stakeholder management, conducting research, preparing reports for (senior) management, and converting data into valuable insights? Then read on!

Je werk

As a Financial Economic Crime (FEC) Investigator, you conduct project-based research into Client Integrity risks. In doing so, you use your in-depth knowledge of financial-economic crime and the methods criminals use to conceal themselves. You analyze transactions, statutory data, external data sources, and FEC trends to identify relevant risks within projects. You work closely with data analysts and gain energy from brainstorming about which data is needed for analyses. You report your findings to a wide range of stakeholders within the bank and you will have a visible societal impact. It is crucial that you can clearly present your research to stakeholders, enthuse them about your analyses, and initiate follow-up actions.

You work for the entire ABN AMRO Group. You investigate a wide range of themes such as money laundering-sensitive sectors, bank products, or specific money laundering methods, where you combine large amounts of data with public information sources and internal and external intelligence signals. The risks you identify form input for client follow-up, process improvements, and/or the SIRA.

The FEC Investigator focuses on thematic investigations and does not handle individual client files. You map risks at a tactical and strategic level and propose mitigating measures. Any integrity risks detected with clients are transferred to analysts (such as TM, EDR, and SFI).

In addition, you have extensive knowledge of the responsibility of banks in performing their gatekeeper function. Only by understanding which risks we can (or cannot) mitigate or accept, can you conduct targeted research and propose improvements.

Je verantwoordelijkheden

Your responsibilities:

• Independently act as a project manager for thematic deep-dive investigations based on internal and external signals.
• Conduct exploratory research to detect new and unknown patterns of financial crime.
• Prepare clear reports (in English) for direct stakeholders and (senior) management, and present your findings.
• Monitor the timelines of your projects.
• Translate research findings into measures to enhance the bank's gatekeeper role.
• Ensure the quality of various projects and products, including coaching team members and sharing your knowledge.

Je werkomgeving

In a rapidly changing world where laws and regulations are constantly evolving and criminals are continually devising new methods, ABN AMRO's Detecting Financial Crime (DFC) department strives for a sustainable financial system.

The Investigations team is further divided into two sections: Thematic Investigations and SIRA Analysis. You will be working in Thematic Investigations. The entire team consists of 20 passionate professionals, including investigators and data analysts. Thematic Investigations focuses on large-scale investigations into client integrity risks, with the ultimate goal of identifying new risks and mitigating them in collaboration with the organization.
