**Key Accountabilities**:

- Work together with investigation teams targeting serious criminal activity
- Interact with members of the local and international financial business community.
- Manage reactive and proactive investigations
- Prepare and present (written and verbal) information in a clear and concise way
- Prepare and execute production orders, search warrants and examination orders
