Mandate
The CM AML EMEA VP is part of a centralized 1B function, independent from the LOB(s) within the First Line of Defence, mandated to ensure LOB(s) execute their business in compliance with applicable regulations.
The VP will act as a SME for all AML related escalations, design and execute processes, methodology, and reporting changes to drive efficiency. As these changes are executed, the VP will ensure they are embedded for sustainability. Efficiencies must drive integration of end-to-end processes across AML, Operational Risk, and Supervision.

This requires in-depth understanding of regulations, control processes, systems, and data structures related to AML, as well as broad understanding of CM control frameworks. The VP will review and assess current processes to ensure regulatory compliance and drive efficiencies.
