Contract
6 months
Overall Purpose of the Role
As a Risk Assessment Manager, you will lead on intelligence reviews, sign off investigations, and manage relationships across our highest‑risk client portfolio. This role spans sensitive, high‑risk sectors and requires you to investigate potential non‑compliance, fraud, misconduct, and unethical behaviour. Ultimately, you will make key evidence‑based decisions that protect the bank’s reputation, support financial integrity, and ensure full regulatory and compliance adherence.
Key Responsibilities
* Undertake investigations and make definitive risk decisions on complex Financial Crime cases.
* Actively review evidence and conduct clear risk assessments of customers, acting as the decision‑maker with personal authority to conclude cases.
* Manage, steer, and guide a team of investigators across multiple sites, stepping back from hands‑on processing to provide leadership.
* Gather data, analyse intelligence, and manage relationships across a high‑risk business banking client portfolio.
* Present confident, well‑reasoned risk decisions and findings clearly to senior stakeholders.
Key Skills
Essential
* Former experience as an AML, KYC, due diligence, or risk assessment manager.
* Considerable understanding of AML laws, regulations, and compliance frameworks (e.g., Wolfsberg, JMLSG, AML4/5/6, FATF).
* Excellent knowledge of high‑risk industry sectors and money‑laundering threats posed by Business Banking clients (such as Gaming/Gambling, Payment Service Providers, Defence, and Charities).
* Proven experience of actively making risk decisions/assessments of customers, rather than just generic “tick‑box” KYC document gathering.
Desirable
* Formal qualifications or certifications in Anti‑Money Laundering (AML), such as an ICA Diploma, Certificate in AML, or CAMS.
* Specific subject‑matter expert knowledge built up in particular sectors or entities.
* Experience managing high‑quality due diligence reviews.
