Head of Risk Management
Legacy Search Advisors
A highly respected, publicly traded financial institution is creating a new Senior Vice President role to lead its enterprise-wide Fraud and Financial Crimes Risk Management function.
This is a top-of-the-house leadership position reporting directly to the Chief Risk Officer, with regular visibility to executive leadership and the Board. The role will oversee second-line risk functions spanning BSA/AML, fraud risk, and quality assurance, while preserving the regulatory independence of the BSA Officer.
If you’re a proven financial crimes leader who enjoys building programs, leading people, and operating at the executive level — this role offers scale, influence, and long-term runway.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll set strategy and provide independent oversight across the bank’s financial crimes framework, ensuring strong governance, regulatory credibility, and effective challenge to the first line. This includes leading experienced teams, partnering closely with regulators, and helping the organization stay ahead of emerging fraud and AML risks.
You’ll also play a critical role in executive and Board-level reporting, regulatory exams, issue remediation, and enterprise risk discussions — all while fostering a strong culture of integrity, accountability, and collaboration.
What They’re Looking For
This role is designed for senior leaders currently operating in, or ready to step into, an enterprise-level financial crimes leadership seat.
Ideal background includes:
- Deep experience in BSA/AML, fraud risk, and financial crimes within banking
- Prior leadership at a $10B–$50B bank (up to $100B considered with the right mix)
- Executive presence with strong regulator-facing experience
- Demonstrated ability to lead second-line functions and protect BSA Officer independence
- Familiarity with tools like Verafin is a strong plus
- CAMS or CFE required
Experience as a prior BSA Officer is highly valued but not mandatory.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Newly created SVP role with real influence
- Direct access to executive leadership and the Board
- Strong team already in place (direct and indirect reports)
- Competitive compensation with long-term upside
- Stable, well-run institution with a thoughtful approach to risk and governance
