📋 Description

• The assurance review schedule as the DC book grows, keeping risk ratings accurate and ensuring each customer receives the right level of scrutiny. • The review and closing out post-live conditions for newly onboarded DCs where applicable. • Issuing assurance review requests, including scoping the right questions and sample requests based on entity type, operating model, and risk rating. • In-depth reviews of DC responses, identifying gaps and weaknesses in their financial crime controls. • The production of formal review reports with clear findings and a recommendation on whether a DC's risk rating should be maintained, increased, or decreased. • Drafting and issuing recommendations to DCs, then tracking and following up until full closure is confirmed. • The engagement with external stakeholders, including CEOs, MLROs, Compliance Managers, especially when sharing difficult findings or recommendations.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience working in financial crime compliance — ideally in an audit, assurance, oversight, or monitoring capacity, with hands-on review experience rather than purely advisory or policy work. • Hands-on experience conducting financial crime audit or assurance reviews or assessments, including reviewing control frameworks and identifying gaps. • Experience with writing reports and recommendations on the back of audit or assurance reviews. • A solid understanding of financial crime controls: AML, sanctions, KYC, transaction monitoring, SARs, QA/QC and end-to-end onboarding and ongoing customer journeys. • Confidence managing external relationships and having direct, sometimes difficult conversations with customers. • Strong organisational skills and an analytical mindset — you'll be juggling reviews at different stages and spotting issues that aren't always obvious. • A love of writing - we have a major amount of written documentation that you will be contributing to, and we place a high degree of importance on clarity and readability.
