¹Fortune 500, published June 2024, data as of December 2023. Compensation provided for using, not obtaining, the rating.


Interested in working across teams like Legal, Risk, and Compliance while tackling complex investigations and making a real impact? Interested in working for one of Fortune 500 companies to work for? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you!


Step into a high-impact role as a subject matter expert shaping the future of financial crime prevention across the firm. You’ll play a key role in strengthening the Financial Crimes Program by leading investigative oversight, elevating compliance practices, and driving governance initiatives that matter.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of independent reviews of SAR and STR filings, surface emerging risks and control gaps, and influence meaningful improvements across investigations, training, policies, and processes. Your insights will directly enhance how the firm detects, manages, and mitigates financial crime risk.


You’ll partner closely with teams across Compliance, Legal, Risk, and Operations, working at the center of critical initiatives—from regulatory exams and law enforcement inquiries to enterprise-wide training. This is an opportunity to collaborate broadly, think strategically, and make a visible impact across the organization.


What you will do :


+ Perform quality control reviews of SAR/STR filings to ensure accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance (FinCEN/FINTRAC)

+ Develop and deliver financial crimes training, including content creation, completion tracking, and targeted sessions on emerging risks

+ Provide ongoing guidance to investigators on regulatory requirements, typologies, and best practices

+ Analyze investigation data to identify trends, risks, and control gaps, and partner across teams to enhance processes and training

+ Manage law enforcement requests and coordinate responses for SAR-related documentation

+ Support regulatory exams and audits by gathering documentation, evaluating findings, and driving remediation efforts

+ Contribute to policy, procedure, and control enhancements within the Financial Crimes program

+ Assist with the annual AML risk assessment and broader governance initiatives


+ Series 7 is required at time of hire

+ Bachelor's degree in a related field

+ 6+ years of experience in AML / financial crimes investigations or risk within financial services

+ Proven experience performing Quality Control (QC) or supervisory reviews of AML or fraud investigations (not just case handling)

+ Strong, working knowledge of BSA/AML regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and FINRA Rule 3310

+ Experience in a broker-dealer or highly regulated financial environment (banking acceptable if strong)

+ Demonstrated ability to develop and deliver AML/fraud training to teams or large groups

+ Strong analytical and risk assessment skills, including identifying control gaps and making escalation decisions

+ Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to stakeholders or handling sensitive conversations

+ Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet regulatory deadlines independently


Candidates that live within a commutable distance from our Tempe, AZ and St. Louis, MO home office locations are expected to work in the office four days per week.


At Edward Jones, we are building a place where everyone feels like they belong. We're proud of our associates' contributions to the firm and the recognitions we have received.
