About The Position

The Manager, RAAS Forensics leads complex, confidential investigations involving alleged fraud, misconduct, conflicts of interest, asset misappropriation, and policy violations across Carnival Corporation and its global brands. Operating with a high degree of independence, the Manager develops risk-based investigation strategies, conducts interviews and data analysis, evaluates evidence, identifies root causes and control gaps, and presents objective, evidence-based conclusions to senior management. The role also assesses controls intended to mitigate fraud risk across shoreside and shipboard operations and supports effective remediation. Working with Legal, Ethics & Compliance, Human Resources, Information Security, RAAS colleagues, and business leadership, the Manager addresses legal, privacy, employment, and regulatory considerations; recommends practical control improvements; and monitors corrective actions. The position also assists with the annual fraud risk assessment, develops fraud detection queries, mentors colleagues, and advances forensic methodology and technology-enabled fraud detection. The Manager’s work provides senior management and the Board of Directors with timely insights that support protection of the Company’s people, assets, reputation, and values, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies. This is an individual-contributor role with no direct reports. It is classified as in-office and requires work from a designated Carnival office in South Florida Monday through Thursday, with the option to work from home on Fridays. Candidates must be in or willing to relocate to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. No or very little travel is likely, though the role may require occasional urgent, international, or shipboard assignments as business needs require.
