Are you ready to step into a high-impact role where your expertise directly influences risk decisions, regulatory outcomes, and team performance? We are seeking a Senior Investigative Specialist to join our Financial Crimes team within Compliance/AML.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a highly visible, high-impact role at the center of financial crime risk management. As a Senior Investigative Specialist, you will lead complex investigations that directly protect the firm, its clients, and its reputation-while helping shape how emerging risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated.

In this role, you'll go beyond traditional case work to act as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert, partnering across Compliance, Legal, and business teams. You'll lead end-to-end investigations-from initial detection through resolution and regulatory reporting-using advanced analytics to uncover patterns, identify anomalies, and detect evolving financial crime risks.

You'll also play a critical role in strengthening the firm's control environment by influencing process improvements, supporting regulatory compliance (BSA/AML, OFAC, FinCEN), and driving consistency in investigative standards.

What You'll Do

  • Lead complex investigations end-to-end, including high-risk escalations and regulatory reporting
  • Analyze transactions and client activity to identify trends, patterns, and suspicious behavior
  • Conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD) and assess subpoenas and escalations
  • Partner with Compliance, Legal, business teams, and external agencies to support investigations
  • Recommend process and control improvements to mitigate risk
  • Support SAR decisioning and filings in alignment with regulatory requirements
  • Help drive consistency in investigative practices and standards
  • Share expertise through training and collaboration with teammates
  • High school diploma required
  • 4+ years in financial services, fraud, BSA/AML, audit, or risk
  • Strong knowledge of BSA/AML, OFAC, and financial services operations
  • Experience with complex investigations and transaction analysis
  • Strong analytical and risk-based decision-making skills
  • Ability to manage escalations and work with internal partners and regulators
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field
  • CAMS, CFE, or similar certification
  • Experience with SAR filings, EDD, and subpoenas
  • Knowledge of brokerage/banking operations or forensic accounting
  • Experience partnering with Legal, Compliance, and law enforcement
  • Ability to identify trends and drive process improvements

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.
