About the role – 12 month Fixed Term Contract

Join a high-impact Financial Crime team where your expertise will directly shape the Bank's AML/CTF detection capability. Using financial crime intelligence, analytics and transaction monitoring, you'll play a pivotal role in identifying emerging AML/CTF risks, strengthening controls and helping protect the Bank and its customers.

Key responsibilities include:  

  • Shape the Bank's financial crime detection capability by developing, testing and refining transaction monitoring rules and customer screening controls aligned to the Bank's AML/CTF risk profile and emerging financial crime intelligence.
  • Analyse complex financial crime intelligence and AML/CTF typologies to identify emerging risks, strengthen detection strategies and enhance the effectiveness of the Bank's Transaction Monitoring Program.
  • Drive continuous improvement by conducting regular performance testing, tuning and optimisation of transaction monitoring rules to ensure they remain effective in an evolving financial crime landscape.
  • Influence enterprise-wide AML/CTF outcomes by partnering with Financial Crimes and first-line teams to improve understanding of ML/TF typologies, strengthen controls and support compliance with AML/CTF legislation.
  • Leverage data and analytics to uncover meaningful insights, assess AML/CTF risk profiles and support evidence-based decision making that protects the Bank and its customers.

 

About you 

Join a small, high-impact specialist team where you'll have end-to-end ownership of key AML/CTF analytics and monitoring capabilities, with the opportunity to directly influence the Bank's financial crime framework and detection strategies.
 
The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:  

  • 3+ years' experience in risk, compliance, analytics or financial crime, preferably within the banking or financial services sector.

  • Strong understanding of AML/CTF legislation, ML/TF typologies and financial crime risks, with the ability to apply this knowledge to real-world detection strategies.

  • Experience analysing complex data and using insights to test, tune and optimise transaction monitoring or risk detection controls.

  • A naturally curious and inquisitive mindset, with a passion for staying ahead of emerging financial crime trends and continuously improving detection capabilities.

  • Experience with transaction monitoring systems, data analytics or customer screening platforms is highly regarded. Professional AML/CTF certifications (such as CAMS) or qualifications in data and analytics will be advantageous.
