Financial Crime Manager
Location: London
Salary: £80,000 – £90,000
A well-established international banking group is looking to hire a Financial Crime Manager to join its compliance function in London.
This position sits within a respected compliance and internal control team and offers the opportunity to take a visible role in strengthening financial crime controls across a complex banking environment. The team works closely with senior management and regulators, giving strong exposure across the organisation and the chance to contribute directly to how financial crime risks are managed.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working across the full spectrum of financial crime compliance, from AML and sanctions oversight to monitoring frameworks, regulatory engagement and financial crime risk assessments.
The Role
You will play a key role in supporting and enhancing the organisation’s financial crime framework while ensuring ongoing compliance with evolving regulatory expectations.
The work is varied and will involve contributing to compliance monitoring programmes, reviewing financial crime controls across the business and advising internal stakeholders on AML, sanctions and broader regulatory requirements.
You will also be involved in financial crime risk assessments, regulatory reviews, suspicious activity reporting processes and internal investigations, helping ensure systems and controls remain robust as the business evolves.
A significant part of the role involves working closely with teams across the organisation, providing guidance on KYC, sanctions and financial crime regulations while promoting a strong culture of compliance.
In addition, you will contribute to training and awareness initiatives, helping ensure employees across the business remain informed about financial crime risks and regulatory expectations.
The Environment
The compliance team is well established and works closely with senior leadership and regulators.
The organisation places strong emphasis on maintaining high regulatory standards while supporting the commercial objectives of the business.
This role offers broad exposure across the organisation, working with teams across front office, operations, risk and audit functions.
There is also genuine opportunity to develop your career within a well-structured international banking group, gaining exposure to complex financial crime matters and regulatory engagement.
Your Background
This role will suit someone with experience within financial crime compliance, internal audit or regulatory compliance in a banking or financial services environment.
You are likely to have developed expertise in areas such as AML, sanctions, financial crime risk frameworks, compliance monitoring or regulatory engagement, and will be comfortable working with stakeholders across multiple departments.
Strong communication skills are important, as the role involves report writing, regulatory interaction and advising the wider business on compliance matters.
Professional qualifications such as CAMS, CPA, CIA or equivalent would be beneficial but are not essential.
Why This Role
Many professionals in financial crime look for roles that offer greater visibility, broader exposure and the opportunity to influence how financial crime risks are managed. This position provides exactly that, within a well-established international banking environment.
