About the Team

The Global Legal Investigations (GLI) group focuses on spotting and responding to suspected misconduct, legal breaches, and ethical issues. Its work is designed to catch problems early, reduce legal exposure, limit reputational harm, and strengthen compliance by addressing risks before they grow.

What You’ll Do

• Run inquiries into policy breaches, data leakage, fraud, and financial abuse, and help design internal processes and data-driven monitoring tools that make financial irregularities easier to detect.
• Gather and examine financial, operational, and other relevant records to support investigations and evaluate enterprise risk.
• Speak with employees connected to a case, review evidence, form conclusions, and suggest improvements to controls.
• Assemble fraud cases by collecting witness statements and supporting proof from employees involved in transactions tied to possible losses.
• Draft reports and present findings to senior leaders, HR, Ethics, and Legal, along with recommendations to correct control weaknesses.
• Create clear work papers that properly document each investigation and the evidence behind forensic findings.
• Partner with internal stakeholders at different levels, including senior management, Employee Relations, Ethics, Legal Counsel, and the DPO, and also work with external legal counsel and law enforcement on fraud and financial mismanagement matters.
• Evaluate internal fraud exposure through platform monitoring and deeper-dive review projects.
• Spot emerging threats to the company and take prompt action to reduce risk.

What We’re Looking For

• A bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Crime Investigation, Finance, Business Management, or a closely related field.
• Substantial experience investigating financial crime, with the ability to analyze large datasets and identify patterns tied to fraud, money laundering, bribery, and corruption in a large organization.
• Hands-on experience building internal case-management workflows, including allegation review, root-cause analysis, and remediation processes.
• Experience assessing internal fraud risk and putting effective controls and corrective actions in place in a business setting.
• Strong experience investigating and advising on internal misconduct across an organization.
• Preferred: experience leading end-to-end workplace investigations in a fast-moving social media environment while staying aligned with internal policies and legal requirements.
