What You Will Accomplish

• Rule Library ownership — strategy to execution
  • Develop, build, test, launch, monitor, and tune thresholds across rule families (e.g., Prepaid, Item Description Handbags/Collectibles). Lead alert backfills when logic/data sources change; communicate volume impacts to FIU/TM Ops; secure approvals for production changes.
  • Publish optimization reports with alert-to-case/SAR performance, threshold recommendations, and Ops tagging guidance; drive training where needed.
  • Track rule evaluation → CCMS alert creation; investigate and remediate misses with Engineering.
• Governance, exams, and audit support
  • Lead annual confirmations under the Model Risk Management Framework (MRMF) for Transaction Monitoring models; clarify inclusion/exclusion of DS tools vs. production TM rules as required.
  • Respond to audit/exam requests; maintain evidence, logs, and end-to-end traceability across rule evaluation, alert generation, and case promotion.
• Cross-functional leadership
  • Coordinate with FIU investigations leadership, Ops, and Engineering/DS for payloads, thresholds, and workflow efficacy; run periodic 60–90 day post-implementation reviews with Ops/FIU.
  • Partner with Product/Engineering on data dependencies, critical data elements, and CCMS/TMS integrations to ensure timely alert creation and review.
• Data quality, metrics, and reporting
  • Establish rule-level targets and program metrics (alert-to-case/SAR ratios, monthly volumes, tagging completeness, SLA adherence).
  • Monitor and report performance trends to leadership; recommend corrective actions.
  • Drive data reconciliation and backfill quality checks when introducing new sources; manage CCDE dependencies and schema changes with Engineering.
