About this role
Intuit is seeking a strategic and operationally excellent Head of Financial Crimes Compliance to lead the financial crimes compliance office. Reporting directly to the Enterprise Chief Compliance Office, this senior leader will manage a team of AML and sanctions compliance professionals responsible for enterprise wide AML and sanctions compliance for regulated Intuit entities across multiple jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, and Ireland/EU where Intuit and its subsidiaries provide regulated offerings.
Intuit's money and AML-regulated products span three of the world's most recognized consumer and small business financial brands. Through QuickBooks, Intuit offers business banking, payments, payroll, bill pay, lines of credit, digital wallet, and lending products and other services to small and mid-sized businesses and consumers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Through TurboTax, Intuit provides consumer tax preparation in the United States and Canada with integrated financial services including tax refund advances and associated payment flows. Through Credit Karma, Intuit serves tens of millions of consumers in the United States and United Kingdom with personal finance products including bank accounts, savings, credit cards, loans, and money movement. Collectively, these products operate under the AML/CFT supervisory frameworks of FinCEN and U.S. state regulators, FINTRAC, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Central Bank of Ireland, and applicable EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives.
This is a rare opportunity to mature and lead a best-in-class financial crimes compliance program at a globally scaled, multi-brand fintech — one that integrates the analytical rigor of a traditional financial intelligence unit with the speed, data-driven discipline, and technological agility demanded by Intuit's consumer and business product ecosystem.
