What You’ll Be Doing 🗃️

• Monitor daily financial crime reports and processes - spotting data quality issues, process breaks, or unusual reporting trends.
• Build and maintain MI that reflects the true health of our first-line controls, providing these insights to the wider business and senior stakeholders, ensuring our reporting is the "single source of truth."
• Use SQL and Python to stay ahead of emerging AML trends and typologies; you’ll be the first to notice shifting patterns in suspicious activity and translate these into suggestions for control enhancements.
• Use historical data and predictive analytics to forecast volume spikes to ensure operational readiness.
• You will use data to help drive changes in how we report and monitor, ensuring our first-line processes remain agile, policy-aligned, and efficient.
• Act as a central point of contact for Senior Management, translating complex operational data into clear, risk-based proposals.

• Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.
• Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.

• Essential knowledge of Financial Crime and AML principles. You understand the regulatory landscape and can apply this context to your data analysis to ensure our controls remain effective.
• A proven ability to scrutinise operational data and detect subtle irregularities. You take a proactive approach to troubleshooting, digging into the "why" behind the numbers to resolve issues before they impact the function.
• Highly comfortable using SQL to interrogate databases and Python for deeper analysis.
• Proven experience in designing and maintaining reports that are accurate, reliable, and provide a clear view of performance.
• Stage 1: 30 minute intro and values call with a Talent Partner
