Senior Financial Crime QA Manager – 12 Month FTC
We are working with a leading Wealth Management firm to recruit a Senior Financial Crime QA Manager on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is a senior Financial Crime role with responsibility for leading Quality Assurance activity across a significant remediation programme, while also supporting the development of the wider Financial Crime QA and assurance framework.
The role will cover key areas including high-risk clients, CDD/KYC, PEPs, sanctions, transaction monitoring, and wider Financial Crime controls, with a strong focus on QA methodology, control effectiveness, thematic reviews, governance, and reporting.
This is not an individual contributor role. You will manage and provide technical leadership to a small QA team, ensuring quality and consistency while helping to develop the overall assurance capability.
