  • Manage relationships and integrations with third-party fraud and risk service providers.
• Fraud Risk Management

• • Oversee fraud detection, monitoring, and investigation processes for deposit accounts, trading activity, and investment products.
  • Implement advanced analytics, machine learning, and behavioral monitoring tools to identify suspicious activity.
  • Establish fraud risk metrics, dashboards, and executive- and regulator-facing reporting.
• Policy & Compliance

• • Ensure compliance with SEC, FINRA, and other regulatory requirements related to fraud and financial crime.
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance fraud-related policies, procedures, and internal controls.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with regulators, auditors, and law enforcement on fraud matters.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration

• • Work closely with IT, cybersecurity, compliance, and operations teams to strengthen fraud defenses.
  • Partner with customer service and account management teams to educate clients on fraud risks and prevention.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• • Stay ahead of emerging fraud schemes, technologies, and attack vectors in the brokerage industry.
  • Drive continuous improvement in fraud detection systems and investigative methodologies.
  • Champion a culture of fraud awareness and prevention across the organization.

The Skills You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Risk Management, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in fraud prevention within financial markets.
• 5+ years of leadership experience in fraud prevention, risk management, or financial crime investigation, preferably within brokerage, banking, or investment platforms.

• Expertise in fraud detection technologies, transaction monitoring systems, and data analytics.
• Proven ability to manage complex investigations and present findings to executive leadership and regulators.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• SIE and FINRA Series 7 and Series 24 licenses preferred.

What Makes You Stand Out
