We are partnering with a leading financial institution undergoing a large-scale AML transformation programme across Group and regional business units. This role sits at the heart of execution — focused on translating AML frameworks into practical, scalable, and operationally effective solutions.
This is not a BAU AML or operations role. We are looking for individuals who have successfully delivered transformation initiatives and can bridge the gap between policy design and real-world implementation.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate AML frameworks, policies, and standards into end-to-end executable deliverables (process, controls, systems, governance)
- Drive controls uplift, policy-to-process mapping, and implementation of new operating models
- Work across Group and local business units (LBUs) to align stakeholders and deliver consistent outcomes
- Ensure AML requirements are effectively embedded into customer journeys, technology platforms, and operational processes
- Navigate ambiguity and shape scope within partially defined transformation environments
- Identify and close gaps where approved frameworks do not translate effectively into practice
- Balance regulatory expectations, business priorities, and operational constraints to deliver pragmatic solutions
Requirements
- Proven experience in AML / Financial Crime transformation delivery within banking or consulting
- Strong track record in end-to-end programme execution, not just policy or operations
- Experience in process redesign, controls implementation, and system integration
- Ability to work across multiple stakeholders (risk, compliance, operations, technology)
- Strong understanding of how AML controls operate across KYC/onboarding, transaction monitoring, and customer lifecycle
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-paced transformation environments
- Experience working at Group / regional level is highly preferred
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Transformation leads, programme managers, or senior business analysts within financial crime / AML programmes
- Individuals who have worked on regulatory-driven change, remediation, or large-scale transformation initiatives
- Candidates with exposure to financial crime technology (e.g. monitoring systems, onboarding/KYC platforms)
