K2 Integrity is looking for a managing director for our Financial Crimes Risk Management practice with deep subject-matter expertise and experience in anti-money laundering/combatting the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) issues, specifically in credit card networks, payments, and the payment processing space. The managing director, working closely with an executive managing director and managing directors of the FCRM practice, will lead the development, growth, and management of a payments practice focused on card programs and networks. The managing director will be charged with leading and working with cross-functional teams on diverse projects, including program and risk assessments to understand, assess, and address the financial crime compliance risks of card programs in high-risk jurisdictions, focusing on risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations or evasion, bribery and corruption, and the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The managing director will also be responsible for developing a strategy for addressing systemic card network risks in high-risk jurisdictions.
The ideal candidate will have experience with U.S. (e.g., Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering Act, USA PATRIOT Act, and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and international AML/CFT and anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) regimes, as well as global standards from organizations such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The ideal candidate will be mission driven and thrive in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment working across teams. The candidate will also possess strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to understand financial crimes compliance risks and recommend mitigation strategies. Candidates should also excel at identifying and advising clients about gaps in their existing compliance programs or—in the case of government clients—compliance-related laws, regulations, and supervisory frameworks. In addition, candidates should be comfortable with public speaking, as this role may be called upon to act as a faculty member in K2 Integrity's ongoing training services or to participate in webinars or industry events.
