The successful candidate will work in a close-knit team and be embedded in the business as a subject matter expert. Responsibilities include advising on sanctions-related risks, providing recommendations on customers and transactions from a sanctions perspective, supporting Compliance and other relevant business lines through guidance and training, and drafting sanctions regulatory reports.
