Overview

The Assurance Lead (AML) is responsible for independently testing and evaluating the effectiveness of Dabble’s global AML/CTF control environment, providing assurance that obligations under the AML/CTF Act and associated Rules are being met in practice, not just in policy. Reporting to the Senior Risk & Compliance Assurance Manager, this role documents and tests the design and operating effectiveness of AML/CTF controls and identifies emerging financial crime risks across multiple jurisdictions (including Australia, UK and US and other jurisdictions as required), providing credible, evidence-based reporting to the AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) and senior management. This role offers broad, hands-on exposure across the full scope of AML Assurance activity, with key stakeholders including the Senior Risk & Compliance Assurance Manager, the AMLCO, Customer Intelligence and Customer Operations.

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with control owners, first line teams, internal audit and, where relevant, external auditors and regulators

• Track identified issues and remediation actions through to closure, validating that any corrective actions are effective and address root cause

• Monitor regulatory developments, guidance and enforcement trends across relevant jurisdictions (e.g. AUSTRAC, FinCEN, FCA, UKGC) and formally reassess testing focus areas at least quarterly to reflect emerging risk indicators

• Prepare responses to regulator information requests and support audit readiness activities, including evidence collation and control walkthroughs, within agreed response deadlines

• Extend assurance coverage to non-AML/CTF compliance obligations across Australia, the UK and the US where directed by the Senior Risk & Compliance Assurance Manager, applying the same testing and reporting standards

Are you a Dabbler?

A Dabbler’s attitude is paramount, as the right person will be able to learn quickly and adapt to any skill gaps. A Dabbler is always a team player, with a willingness to share with and learn from others. Being a remote-first workplace, collaborative working styles are crucial to empower and grow each individual member (eg we prefer openness via public channels to problem solve or ideate on Slack).

A Dabbler uses their freedom of autonomy to its absolute potential and enjoys contributing to the Dabble community. We hold respect for our peers very highly – there is no such thing as a bad idea. We encourage you to think differently, be brave and strive to always raise the bar. Dabble was born out of thought sharing and should tackle growth in the same way. Dabble embraces empowerment of all people at any level of seniority and experience to ‘own their work’ and ‘talk their book’ wherever they can.

A fulfilling life extends beyond work, and we encourage our employees to prioritise self-care and well-being. This means taking breaks when needed, setting boundaries, and seeking support when facing challenges. We are committed to creating a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their wellbeing and accessing resources when necessary.

Remuneration

The advertised salary for this position is $130,000 + Super + Benefits with room to be flexible.
