About the Role
Serve as a subject-matter expert within Rippling's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), driving day-to-day transaction monitoring and financial crime investigations. Conduct thorough investigative research and data analysis to identify, evaluate, and mitigate financial crime risks across Rippling’s ecosystem. The ideal candidate blends sharp investigative instincts with clear, defensible narrative writing, thrives in a high-velocity environment, and operates with the highest standards of integrity.
Responsibilities
- Review, investigate, and decision transaction monitoring alerts generated across Rippling’s products with precision and efficiency.
- Conduct end-to-end investigative research on suspicious activity, synthesizing internal transactional records, customer data, and external open-source intelligence (OSINT).
- Draft comprehensive, objective investigation summaries and risk assessments covering money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, tax evasion, and bribery/corruption.
- Prepare and submit Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and equivalent international regulatory filings in accordance with strict statutory deadlines.
- Develop and maintain FIU standard operating procedures (SOPs), investigative playbooks, and typology documentation.
- Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Risk, Operations, and Product teams to escalate critical risks and provide actionable compliance feedback.
- Support ad-hoc compliance initiatives, audit preparations, and rule-tuning feedback loops to continuously improve monitoring logic.
Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on AML/BSA compliance experience, with a heavy emphasis on transaction monitoring, complex casework, and alert decisioning.
- Demonstrated SAR drafting experience, including end-to-end narrative writing and direct filing experience.
- Multi-jurisdictional exposure, understanding AML/CTF reporting frameworks and thresholds across multiple global regions (e.g., FinCEN, FinTRAC, AUSTRAC, or UK/EU FIUs).
- Strong analytical and investigative mindset, with proven ability to interpret complex financial data patterns and draw sound conclusions.
- Exceptional written communication skills, specifically in translating nuanced investigative findings into structured, defensible narratives.
- High execution velocity, with the organizational discipline to manage high case volumes independently without compromising quality.
