Our people are customer obsessed. They prioritise the needs and satisfaction of the customer above all else. Our mindset fosters innovation and creates strong, lasting customer relationships as we strive to be the most customer centric company in Australia and New Zealand.
It's a good time to see how you can grow your career with the Financial Crime Legal team. Although a majority of the team's work is focused on AML/CTF law, the team also provides advice regarding sanctions and anti-bribery/corruption laws. Additionally, we advise on associated regulatory engagement and other risks.
Each day, you'll go above and beyond to:

* Provide subject matter expertise and legal advice on financial crime, anti-bribery and corruption and sanctions legal and regulatory matters to NAB Group
* Advise on updates to NAB Group policy and procedure in relation to financial crime, including the NAB Group AML/CTF Program
* Proactively identify legal, regulatory and reputational risks to the business
* Contribute effectively as a member of the Financial Crime Legal team
* Support initiatives aimed to ensure that the Financial Crime domain is simple, fast, resilient and more customer focused, whilst meeting legal and regulatory requirements
* Engage, monitor and supervise external legal advisers, manage external and internal legal adviser relationships, and facilitate communication between external legal advisers with internal NAB stakeholders
* Be a role model, demonstrate NAB's Service Behaviours and bring a customer-centric approach to your work
We're looking for the best and brightest to deliver the best for our customers. You will need:
You are an experienced lawyer who thrives on legal excellence and professionalism in actively managing legal risk in line with commercial and strategic priorities.
* At least 7 years PQE as a lawyer at a legal firm or in-house
* Bachelor of Laws qualification and admission to legal practice in Australia
* Prior experience providing financial crime legal advice (including AML/CTF, anti-bribery and/ or sanctions laws) is highly desirable, with particular focus on the AML/CTF Act (Cth)
* If no financial crime experience, expertise in areas of law that are complementary to financial crime and a desire to learn financial crime laws. Complementary areas include advising on financial products and services, banking and payments or comparable regulatory contexts
* Excellent organisational skills, including prioritisation and time management
* Outstanding communication (verbal and written) skills with the ability to engage, influence and facilitate effective conversations with stakeholders at all levels
A diverse and inclusive workplace works better for everyone.
At NAB, we're intent on building a culture we can all be proud of. One based on trust and respect. An uplifting environment where every single one of us feels appreciated and empowered to be our true, authentic selves. A diverse and inclusive workplace where our differences are celebrated, and our contributions are valued. It's a huge part of what makes NAB such a special place to be.
