6-Month Fixed-Term Contract | £80,000 + Benefits - North Hertfordshire | Hybrid Working (2 Days per Week Onsite)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Financial Crime professional to join a growing UK financial services organisation on a 6-month fixed-term contract. This is a hands-on second-line role focused on Financial Crime Monitoring, Assurance and Oversight. We are not seeking Transaction Monitoring or Financial Crime Operations specialists. Instead, we're looking for someone who can provide effective challenge, assess control effectiveness and help strengthen the organisation's Financial Crime framework.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver Financial Crime monitoring and assurance reviews across AML, Sanctions and Anti-Bribery & Corruption controls.
- Conduct thematic reviews, control testing and independent oversight activities.
- Assess the effectiveness of first-line Financial Crime controls and identify areas for improvement.
- Track and report on remediation activity and control enhancements.
- Support the ongoing development of the Financial Crime monitoring and assurance programme.
- Produce concise and insightful reporting for senior stakeholders.
- Provide practical Financial Crime advice and guidance to the business.
- Support internal audits, regulatory reviews and wider governance activity.
