The posting

Role Responsibilities

In this role, you will be a key member of a strategic analysis team (the Typology Investigations & Strategic Analysis, or TISA) within Western Union’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). TISA is the primary source for AML/TF typology-focused subject matter expertise provided to other Compliance and corporate risk programs. TISA analysis contributes directly to FIU-initiated transaction controls and other non-standard risk mitigation measures designed to protect the company. TISA analysts work closely with law enforcement and other government partners to exchange threat intelligence and identify emerging risk issues. TISA also provides a variety of bespoke AML/TF-focused research and analysis services to support Compliance leadership and other key stakeholders.

  • Track, evaluate, and model global criminal and terrorist threat evolution using big-data tools and all-source analytic methodologies.
  • Execute all phases of complex, high-risk intelligence analysis projects with significant autonomy and independent judgment.
  • Query, integrate, and analyze extremely large datasets (millions of rows) using ETL, analytics, and data-visualization tools.
  • Interrogate Western Union transaction data using typology-specific intelligence from open/public, commercial, law enforcement, and other sources.
  • Develop detailed narrative investigative reports, presentations, and visual analytic products (e.g., link charts) to document and communicate judgments and findings.
  • Collaborate closely with law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and other government partners to exchange threat intelligence and identify emerging risks.
  • Brief Compliance senior leadership (Director and above) on high-threat, high-exposure issues.
  • Provide bespoke AML/TF-focused research and analysis to support Compliance leadership and key internal stakeholders.
  • Support ad-hoc analytic and research requests from FIU and Compliance senior leadership to inform executive-level decision-making.
  • Contribute to innovation initiatives within the FIU by proactively identifying opportunities to improve processes, analytics, and risk mitigation capabilities.
  • Support FIU and Compliance teams with audit, examination, and regulatory response activities, including research, analysis, and documentation, as needed.
  • *Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. Western Union will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position.

Role Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree and/or 1+ years of relevant experience in intelligence analysis, law enforcement, think-tank research, financial crime, investigative analysis, or related fields.
  • Experience constructing analytic judgments based on incomplete or imperfect information, including the ability to articulate and justify associated confidence levels.
  • Comfort working with extremely large and complex datasets; experience with SQL, Python, or ETL tools such as Alteryx preferred.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); experience with Power BI or comparable visualization tools strongly desired.
  • Demonstrated excellence in written and oral communication, with experience presenting complex analysis to senior decision-makers.
  • Relevant background in strategic analysis for the U.S. Intelligence Community, law enforcement, financial institutions, or AML/CTF risk programs considered highly valuable.
  • Graduate-level training in intelligence analysis methodologies, tradecraft, or related disciplines is a plus.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
