​

SALASUNGO is recognized as a strategic talent and market partner for organizations operating in highly regulated, high-risk and globally distributed environments. We support our clients where compliance, integrity and risk management are not back-office functions, but core pillars of business continuity and trust.

Following our successful collaboration in building international Financial Crime and Compliance functions across APAC and EMEA, we are now supporting one of our long-standing global banking partners in establishing a new senior capability in the Americas.

For this purpose, we are currently looking for a Global Financial Crime & Integrity Lead - High-Risk Markets, based in Miami, to strengthen the organization’s ability to detect, investigate and prevent complex financial crime across borders.

• Regulatory scrutiny from U.S., European and international authorities

This is an environment where financial crime is sophisticated, fast-moving and constantly evolving — and where excellence in investigation and prevention is mission-critical.
