Staff Manager, AML Operations

About the role

Risk Operations sits at the center of how Intuit protects our customers and our platform from fraud, account takeover, money laundering, and identity risk. Within this organization, the AML Operations team owns the day-to-day execution of Anti-Money Laundering Level 1 review, investigation support, and case handling across QuickBooks' regulated financial products and services. This role leads the team that operates within the AML program, partnering closely with the AML Compliance Office, which designs and owns the AML program itself: KYC/CIP, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring standards, SAR requirements, and regulatory exam readiness.

Operations is the customer of what Compliance builds, and this role ensures the program runs at scale with speed, consistency, and accountability. It blends strategic design and tactical execution, shaping the operating model as the business grows while maintaining strong queue health, speed, and consistency daily. The role ensures policies set by Compliance partners are delivered with excellence and that Quality's four-eye review has what it needs to move quickly.

Responsibilities

• Core ownership:
  • Own frontline training and judgment coaching against the SOPs set by AML Compliance, closing the gap between generic desktop procedures and real-world cases.
  • Own the AML KPI scorecard in partnership with Analytics, including Decision Quality and AHT, to drive trackable quarterly improvements.
  • Partner with the Quality team to reduce friction in the four-eye review process, providing context and documentation for fast, accurate second checks without duplicating work.
  • Partner with Workforce Management on staffing and capacity planning, feeding in speed-to-proficiency curves, planned time off, and known volume patterns to maintain schedule integrity.
  • Serve as the operational voice for AML in cross-functional forums, representing Risk Ops alongside Compliance, Legal, and Product stakeholders.
  • Keep operational documentation and evidence audit-ready at all times to support regulatory exams and audits.
  • Identify and remove friction in the AML operating model using data and frontline feedback to simplify processes and improve speed and accuracy.
• Scope clarification:
  • Quality is owned by the Quality team; this role ensures the four-eye review process is fast and low-friction.
  • Staffing and capacity planning are owned by Workforce Management; this role provides operational inputs for accurate scheduling.
  • AML Compliance owns the AML program (SOP, policy, KYC/CIP standards, sanctions screening, SAR criteria); this role leads the team executing within that program.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, risk management, or a related field.
• CAMS or other AML certification preferred, or willingness to obtain within the first year.
• 5+ years of operations or people leadership experience, with direct exposure to AML, fraud, or financial crimes preferred.
• Experience working with product, engineering, or compliance teams in a technology or financial services company.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort working with workforce management, QA, and analytics tools.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced, high-volume operating environment.
