📊 The Role
A leading market-specialist insurance broker is seeking a Group KYC Technical Lead to serve as the final technical authority during a critical transformation phase.
Following a recent team restructure and the rollout of an offshore delivery team, this role acts as the stabilising force and "nuance engine" for the business. Combining deep systems expertise with operational governance, you will guide complex case resolutions, empower the offshore function, and establish lasting playbooks to safeguard the firm's global control model.
💡 Key Responsibilities
- Act as the lead technical SME for KYC systems, workflows, and Salesforce execution, making reasoned judgements on complex, non-standard cases
- Provide functional day-to-day oversight, QA feedback, and coaching to the offshore team to build long-term capability
- Apply expert risk judgement to resolve post-restructure legacy backlogs and un-templated client files
- Partner with technology teams to translate operational pain points into Salesforce system fixes, improving data quality and user experience
- Build trusted, credible relationships across Compliance, Financial Crime, and business teams, translating regulatory expectations into pragmatic solutions
- Create decision trees, playbooks, and SOPs as a permanent operational legacy that will outlive the contract
