Job Description

Group Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) is looking for a FEC Specialist to join our Group FEC Intelligence & Investigations Unit to conduct complex and global Financial Economic Crime (FEC) investigations.

The Team

Group FI&IU is part of the Group Financial Crime Compliance (2LoD) and operates in an international environment by engaging with stakeholders across business lines and countries. The team consists of colleagues with different backgrounds and nationalities that work from ING offices in Amsterdam, London and Warsaw. You will work alongside driven colleagues in an open and trusted culture.

Group FI&IU consists of three centres of expertise (CoE’s): FEC Intelligence, FEC Investigations and Data. This vacancy is part of FEC Investigations which is responsible for conducting complex and global investigations into clients across all segments, as well as financial institutions and Payment Service Providers. The cross-border and complex nature of such investigations require central assessment and coordination, as well as close cooperation with local FCC teams and client owners.

Roles and responsibilities

You apply a curious and professionally sceptical mindset to your analysis; contextualising it within the Bank’s products and services as well as the broader geopolitical environment.

• Identification and preliminary triage (which can involve ING exposure checks via data analysis) of new FEC risk signals identified by or shared with Group FI&IU.

• Involvement in the planning, scoping, execution and documentation of FEC investigations which can include (non-exhaustive):

• Open-source investigation

• Use of tooling to visualize networks

• Transaction analysis

• Engaging with local stakeholders on identified exposure for their portfolio and providing guidance for local assessments and decision-making

• Reporting on local outcomes and drafting concise and clear investigations reports

• Supporting Group FI&IU’s strategic year-plan deliverables and / or reporting activities.

How to succeed

We hire smart people like you for your potential. Our biggest expectation is that you’ll stay curious. Keep learning. Take on responsibility. In return, we’ll back you to develop into an even more awesome version of yourself.

Your profile – must haves:

• In-depth knowledge and at least 6-8 years of relevant professional experience in FEC- related investigations - preferably in a large international bank or other financial institution - resulting in a deep understanding of the evolving FEC landscape and how ING can be exposed to complex multi-jurisdictional schemes in a context of further digitalisation of banking services.

• You are able to analyse client and transaction data, collect evidence and handle confidential information.

• You’re an independent thinker with a critical and analytical mindset and good eye for detail.

• You can work across business, organizational and geographical borders, and thereby show both organizational and cultural sensitivity. You’re also people-focused and a natural team player. Connecting to, cooperating and interacting with others – even when this is predominantly online- comes naturally to you.

• You have a structured, accurate way of working and strong documentation skills, which includes writing reports.

• You have excellent command of the English language both written and spoken.

• You are self-organising, self-starting and results-oriented.

• You have a strong knowledge of FEC typologies and their predicate offenses. You are hungry and curious to learn more about FEC risk and the modus operandi of illicit actors, as well as the systems, tools and data available to the Group FI&IU.

• You adequately perform under pressure if FEC events require a rapid investigative response.

• You have a university degree, preferably with a crime or security-related focus (such as (forensic) criminology, criminal law, political science, international security, international relations, security risk management, etc.) or have demonstrable working experience that proves equivalence therewith (e.g. in financial services, law enforcement, FIU, regulator).

• You have a natural persuasiveness/countervailing power and dare to speak up.

Your profile – nice to haves

• Project management skills

• Data and AI literacy

• You understand the business of banking and have professional knowledge of the FEC domain in financial institutions, and the related processes, technology and developments in the field.

• Understanding of ING’s internal global organizational structure and the FEC Controls Framework.

• Experience with the use of network analysis tooling
