What You'll Do

The primary purpose of this role is to enable change in an organizational context, by supporting better decision making, through defining needs and business requirements, supporting the delivery, user acceptance testing (UAT) and change management, working independently on fast paced projects and / or enhancements across a range of project portfolios.
AML/KYC Risk Management & Remediation
Review and strengthen AML/KYC frameworks, processes, and controls to align with regulatory expectations and internal risk standards
Support bank-wide remediation initiatives
Conduct risk assessments and develop risk mitigation plans in response to regulatory developments or internal policy changes, and prepare the relevant materials for presentation and endorsement at senior management governance forums
Regulatory Deliverables & Governance Reporting
Coordinate and prepare responses to regulatory queries, internal audits, and external audit reviews, ensuring timely and accurate responses
Develop and deliver high-quality materials for governance forums and stakeholder meetings
Present key updates to senior management, highlighting risks, issues, and dependencies, and advising on appropriate mitigation strategies
Stakeholder Engagement & Coordination
Engage regularly with teams across the First Line (1LOD) and Second Line of Defense (2LOD) to support AML/KYC initiatives
Drive alignment and consensus on remediation actions across business units and control functions
In essence, both roles need AML/KYC domain expertise, ability to structure around frameworks (i.e. ideally some consulting or at least internal bank change background), ability to present to senior stakeholders. Note that these are considered BAU roles in the bank so it's more on the BAU side, less on the Consulting experience side, i.e. domain expertise is more important.
