Capitex is a specialist financial crime compliance firm. We work only in financial crime - AML, KYC, KYB, sanctions, transaction monitoring, and fraud - and we resource managed services and remediation programmes across London, Dubai, and New York.
We are recruiting a Deputy Pod Lead for a Know Your Assets managed service supporting a global asset manager's alternative investments business. Know Your Assets is the financial crime process used to assess the risk attached to a fund's underlying investments: the holding itself, its ownership and control structure, and the counterparties involved, including sanctions, PEP, and adverse media exposure.
The Deputy Pod Lead runs the pod day-to-day and deputises for the Pod Lead. You are the first escalation point for the analysts, you keep work moving against SLA, and you handle sensitive communications with investment desks and with counterparties under review. You will also process cases directly when volumes or deadlines require it.
