We are seeking a diligent and ethically grounded professional to serve as a key link between our risk oversight framework and field operations. This role is responsible for proactively identifying and investigating cases of misconduct—among Business Relationship Managers (BRMs), reviewing their performance data, and ensuring alignment with internal control standards.

Key responsibilities include leading targeted investigations into suspected misconduct such as double-dealing, agent impersonation, unauthorized onboarding, and unethical field behavior. The role also involves conducting unannounced field inspections, analyzing BRM activity reports to detect irregularities, assessing the effectiveness of controls guiding BRM activities, and preparing concise, evidence-backed investigation reports.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Internal Control, Business Administration, Finance, Criminology, or a related field, with a minimum of 3 years of experience in internal control, field audit, risk monitoring, or investigative roles within financial services, fintech, or agent networks. Strong investigative mindset, high integrity, field experience, proficiency in Excel and/or basic analytics tools, and excellent report writing and verbal communication skills are essential.

We offer a people-first culture where all voices are heard, a learning- and development-focused environment with an emphasis on knowledge sharing and training, and attractive compensation including salary, pension, health insurance, and annual bonus.
