Financial Crimes Enforcement Network

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and is the nation’s financial intelligence unit, at the forefront in preventing and detecting terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime. FinCEN’s Global Investigations Division (GID) uses all-source intelligence to conduct investigations of foreign entities, jurisdictions, classes of transactions and types of accounts to identify those that pose a money laundering threat to the U.S. financial system, and then takes action to neutralize those threats. We're looking for a mission-driven data scientist with solid leadership skills to serve as the Office Director for GID’s new Office of Data Forensics. Consisting of a team of data scientists, the office will help GID organize large sets of transactional data and other information, develop tools to identify illicit finance typologies and actors from that data, and work with investigators to obtain the evidence necessary to support GID’s actions. We hire folks from all walks of life who are self-starters and have demonstrable experience tackling complicated problems in the public, private, or non-profit sectors. With regard to remote work during the pandemic, health and safety are our top priority for all employees. Except when necessary to access classified information, everyone is currently working remotely. There is no specific timeline to return onsite yet. Come join us in putting data to work to fight financial crime -- no prior government experience required!
