About the Job

Requirements

  • 7+ years of hands-on AML/CTF experience, with significant exposure to both operational (1LoD) and oversight (2LoD) environments.
  • A demonstrable track record of identifying process failures and driving material, measurable improvements in an AML or compliance context.
  • Strong working knowledge of AMLD IV/V/VI, FATF Recommendations, and EBA AML/CTF Guidelines.
  • A structured analytical approach to decomposing complex processes, identifying critical failure points, and communicating clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • The ability to challenge senior stakeholders and first-line management with evidence-based positions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the local AML Ops team, ensure KPIs are met, allocate appropriate resourcing, and support the Head of AML Ops.
  • Map and critically assess AML/CTF processes end-to-end, including CDD, name screening, ongoing due diligence, the travel rule, transaction monitoring, and SAR/STR, identifying inefficiencies, control weaknesses, duplication, and regulatory exposure.
  • Translate findings into structured, prioritised improvement proposals with clear risk rationale, implementation paths, ownership, and measurable success criteria.
  • Constructively and rigorously challenge first-line operational teams, holding them accountable to regulatory standards and internal policy without becoming an operational bottleneck.
  • Act as the internal subject matter authority on AML/CTF regulatory requirements and global best practices, ensuring process design decisions reflect current regulatory expectations.
  • Track agreed process improvements through to completion, monitor whether changes deliver the intended effect, and escalate when they do not.
  • Support regulatory examinations, internal audits, and third-line reviews by providing clear, well-evidenced process documentation and subject matter input.
  • Contribute to the AFC risk assessment cycle by surfacing process-level control gaps as input to the overall AML/CTF risk picture.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in a regulated payments, crypto-asset, or fintech environment is preferred.
  • CAMS, ICA Diploma, or an equivalent AML qualification is an advantage.
