Financial Crime Manager - Risk Assessments
I'm working with a leading Investment Management firm looking to appoint a Financial Crime Risk Assessment Manager to play a key role in enhancing and embedding its Financial Crime Risk Assessment Framework.
This isn't a BAU Financial Crime role. It's an opportunity to help shape how Financial Crime risk is assessed across the business, working closely with senior stakeholders and external advisers to deliver a robust, risk-based framework.
The Role
You'll be responsible for supporting the design, enhancement and ongoing development of the firm's Financial Crime Risk Assessment Framework, ensuring it remains proportionate, effective and aligned to regulatory expectations.
Key responsibilities include:
- Enhancing the Business-Wide Financial Crime Risk Assessment methodology.
- Developing and maintaining Risk Assessment methodologies, Controls Libraries and Risk & Controls Frameworks.
- Supporting Product Risk Assessments.
- Assessing inherent and residual Financial Crime risks.
- Measuring and evidencing Control Effectiveness.
- Producing meaningful MI and reporting for senior stakeholders, Committees and the Board.
- Coordinating periodic Risk Assessment reviews and driving continuous improvement across the framework.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
