What you’ll do:

• Lead end-to-end delivery of financial crime engagements across AML/CTF, sanctions, AB&C, and fraud — including scoping, resource planning, risk and quality processes, and commercial management.

•  Advise clients on financial crime risk and compliance, translating complex regulatory and legislative obligations into clear, risk-based strategies tailored to their operating environment.

• Support strategic advice to help clients anticipate and adapt to evolving regulatory, legal, and industry changes, including emerging risks and enforcement trends.

What we’re looking for:

• Deep understanding of financial crime risks across AML/CTF, sanctions, AB&C, and fraud, supported by 4–5+ years of experience in financial services, consulting, or regulatory environments.

• Strong knowledge of risk management frameworks and regulatory obligations including the AML/CTF Act and Rules — with the ability to advise on legislative reforms and evolving compliance expectations.

• Sound understanding of industry schemes, intelligence capabilities, and emerging technologies such as transaction monitoring, screening, and data analytics to manage financial crime risk.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distil complex issues into clear, compelling narratives for senior stakeholders and diverse audiences.

• Proven ability to analyse and solve complex problems, applying critical thinking and commercial judgement to deliver practical, risk-based solutions

• Proven experience in providing advice to clients
