- Act as a subject matter expert for internal teams, providing clear compliance guidance on onboarding, product developments, and external queries.
- Define, perform, and maintain robust second-line controls and monitoring processes - including testing the effectiveness of financial crime systems and settings, identifying gaps, and driving framework improvements based on the results.

- Conduct AML/CFT horizon scanning and reporting to relevant stakeholders including senior management.
- Provide oversight and subject matter expertise in responding to financial crime related queries from partners or our service bank, ensuring responses align with regulatory expectations and internal policies.
