Whats the role
Reporting directly to the Team Manager this hands‑on role plays a critical part in supporting our Financial Crime Surveillance function. You’ll be actively involved in delivering high‑quality outcomes by ensuring timely responses and accurate documentation of AML / CTF investigations.

Given the nature of this role you’ll work both independently and as part of a collaborative team managing priorities and building effective relationships with stakeholders across the Financial Crime Surveillance function. Your attention to detail, drive for continuous improvement and commitment to compliance will be key to your success.
- Ideally a solid understanding of financial services with knowledge of AML / CTF operations and risk management principles.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and a drive for continuous improvement.
- Ability to manage priorities, work autonomously and collaboratively and deliver results to a high standard.
- Proven experience in stakeholder relationship management within operational teams.

If you’re comfortable taking information and data and adding it into reports, and bring energy and curiosity to the field, you’ll thrive here.
