We are looking for a driven and detail-oriented KYC Financial Crime Specialist to join our fast-paced Financial Crime Operations team. This is a hands-on role at the heart of our fincrime function, where you will be responsible for protecting the bank from financial crime by conducting Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), assessing transaction activity, and ensuring our onboarding and ongoing customer checks are completed.
The successful candidate will be comfortable managing a varied caseload at pace, making sound risk-based decisions, and leveraging AI-powered tools to work efficiently without compromising quality or compliance.
This is a hybrid role – the team works in the office 3 days a week.
Your working week will consist of 7.5 hour shifts between 8 am and 8 pm, Monday to Friday, and you will be required to work one day of the weekend every other week, remotely. If you work a day at the weekend, you will receive a day off during the week.
The role also requires several bank holidays to be worked a year, with any bank holidays worked given back as time in lieu.
