Role Summary
We are looking for a sharp, operationally minded AML professional to sit within our second line of defence function. This role exists to bridge the gap between regulatory expectation and operational reality: you will hold deep AML/CTF subject matter expertise and use it to systematically identify where processes fall short — through inefficiency, control gaps, or design flaws — and drive them to a measurably better state. You will challenge the first line with authority, propose solutions with precision, and own the outcome.
Key Responsibilities
  • Map and critically assess existing AML/CTF processes end-to-end — CDD, transaction monitoring, screening, SAR, ongoing due diligence — identifying inefficiencies, control weaknesses, duplication, and regulatory exposure.
  • Translate findings into structured, prioritised improvement proposals with clear risk rationale, implementation path, ownership, and measurable success criteria.
  • Challenge first-line operational teams constructively but rigorously; hold them accountable to regulatory standards and internal policy without becoming an operational bottleneck.
  • Act as internal subject matter authority on AML/CTF regulatory requirements and Global best practices; ensure process design decisions are grounded in current regulatory expectation.
  • Track implementation of agreed process improvements through to completion; monitor whether changes deliver the intended effect and escalate where 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.
What You Bring
  • 7+ years of hands-on AML/CTF experience, with significant exposure to both operational (1LoD) and oversight (2LoD) environments — you understand how processes actually run, not just how they are documented.
  • 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.
  • Structured analytical approach: able to decompose a complex process, identify the critical failure point, and communicate it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Credible and direct: comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and first-line management with evidence-based positions.
  • Experience in a regulated payments, crypto-asset, or fintech environment preferred.
  • CAMS, ICA Diploma, or equivalent AML qualification an advantage.
What Good Looks Like in This Role
  • Processes you review come out measurably more efficient, better controlled, and more defensible to a regulator than when you found them.
  • The first line treats your findings as valuable input, not bureaucratic overhead — because your recommendations are specific, practical, and grounded in operational reality.
  • When the regulator or internal audit asks how a process works and why it is designed that way, there is a clear, documented answer that traces back to your work.
