We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Complex Thematic Investigations Team Lead on a 12-month Secondment.
The Financial Crime (FC) function is a Second line of defence (LOD) function that includes ”Risk Stewards” who are independent of the commercial risk-taking activities undertaken by the Group’s businesses (also referred to as “the First LOD” or “FLOD”). The Financial Crime Function also operates a set of critical controls on behalf of the Group’s businesses (FLOD) by harnessing intelligence, analytics, technology, detection and investigation. The Risk Stewards are responsible for reviewing and challenging all the activities of the First LOD to ensure that, as “Risk Owners”, they effectively manage the financial crime risk inherent in, or arising from, the conduct of their activities and for which they are responsible. Financial crime risk is a non-financial risk that includes fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption, sanctions violations, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, export control violations and tax evasion. The Financial Crime function operates in accordance with HSBC Group’s Risk Management Framework (RMF).
A move across the business allows you to continue to access tailored professional development opportunities, and our fantastic benefits packages.
In this role you will be:
- Leading high-profile and complex financial crime investigations across regions, and countries related to fraud, anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, sanctions, anti-bribery and corruption.
- Responsible for identifying typologies and trends in financial crime activities through in-depth analysis of transaction data, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and internal records.
- Communicating information on the most significant and sensitive investigations and related mitigating actions to Group senior management to support and facilitate a strategic appraisal of the relevant risks.
- Required to set and develop strategic capability to mitigate future threats in response to significant investigations.
- Providing subject matter expertise necessary to inform the work of other parts of FC Investigations, including but not limited to innovations in analytics, identification of potential control weaknesses, typologies, policies and procedures, the engagement strategy, training, and the wider regulatory landscape.
- Supporting the Global and Functional Heads of Complex Investigations in communicating the most significant and sensitive investigations, including investigative control findings, and related mitigating actions to senior management to support and facilitate a strategic appraisal of the relevant risks and strengthen the Bank’s control environment.
- Recommending and facilitating the coordination of referrals for action with the other components of Compliance.
