OSINT Investigator

About the Company

Responsibilities

• ● As our OSINT Investigator, you'll move beyond standard forensic reconstruction to handle our most critical cases and influence our long-term strategy.
• ● Here's what that looks like in practice:
• ● High-Complexity Investigations - Leading end-to-end forensic investigations into the most sophisticated and multi-layered fraud types (e.g., organized scam networks, complex merchant ATO, and advanced AML/CTF syndicates).
• ● Forensic Reconstruction & Intelligence - Gathering and analyzing data from complex internal systems and advanced OSINT sources to uncover hidden links and build evidence-based intelligence packages regarding new and emerging criminal schemes.
• ● Mentorship & Quality Assurance - Acting as a key escalation point for our first line of defence, challenging assumptions, providing guidance on complex cases, and conducting quality reviews on investigation files and documentation.
• ● Defensible Evidence Management - Applying meticulous attention to detail, ensuring all investigation steps, findings, and evidence are documented in an airtight, defensible manner ready for external auditors, law enforcement, or regulatory review.
• ● Advanced Regulatory Reporting - Authoring and reviewing high-priority SAR/STR narratives for submission, ensuring the "Who, What, When, and Why" of a crime is indisputable under strict regulatory deadlines.
• ● Strategic Control Optimization - Translating complex investigative findings into actionable intelligence, partnering with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to patch systemic vulnerabilities and design next-generation monitoring controls.
• ● Focal Area Leadership - Owning a critical 'Focal Area' to proactively hunt for emerging, new-to-market typologies and presenting trend analysis to FinCrime leadership.
• ● Who we're looking for
• ● This role needs someone equipped with investigative tenacity, data literacy, and a restless curiosity to uncover complex financial crime patterns.
• ● Investigative & OSINT Mastery - Expert understanding of fraud principles, complex criminal typologies, and forensic reconstruction. Proven expertise in applying OSINT techniques. Working knowledge of AML/CFT regulations and the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) framework is highly preferred but not mandatory for candidates with exceptional fraud investigation backgrounds. Professional certifications (e.g., CFE, CAMS) are a strong plus.
• ● Analytical Tenacity - Exceptional critical thinking skills with a natural refusal to take things at face value. Proficiency in navigating data analytics tools (like Looker, Splunk, HEX, or Redshift) and leveraging data to uncover the full scope of an issue.
• ● Leadership & Mentorship - Proven capability to guide, coach, and elevate the technical and investigative skills of peers and junior team members.
• ● Strategic Communication - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex, disparate datasets into clear, actionable briefs for executive leadership and external stakeholders.
• ● Proactive Intelligence - A restless investigative curiosity to hunt for invisible risk, challenge existing processes, and proactively close systemic control gaps.
• ● Core Values - Unwavering resilience under pressure, a commitment to continuous learning, and the high-integrity judgment required to handle sensitive, high-risk financial crime incidents.
• ● Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
