Sanctions and Financial Crime Intelligence Manager
Posted Updated
Description
Envision Employment Solutions is currently looking for a Sanctions and Financial Crime Intelligence Manager for one of our partners, a leading Digital Bank!
THE ROLE
One prohibited relationship, one missed match, and the bank is exposed in a way that's very hard to walk back. You own the framework that prevents that: the screening, the watch lists, the escalation calls on a potential match, and the team that runs it day to day. It's exacting work, and it has to be, because sanctions risk doesn't give second chances.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Manage the Sanctions team, including work allocation, performance management, and staff development
- Maintain the Sanctions & TFS Framework in line with applicable regulatory requirements
- Oversee sanctions screening and related controls across relevant customers, transactions, and other applicable parties
- Oversee the management and maintenance of applicable sanctions and watch lists, ensuring timely implementation of relevant updates
- Oversee the effectiveness and performance of sanctions screening systems and related controls
- Oversee the assessment and escalation of potential sanctions matches and related cases
- Monitor sanctions risk exposure and the effectiveness of sanctions controls
- Identify sanctions-related risks, emerging developments, and relevant typologies, ensuring appropriate consideration within the Financial Crime framework
- Provide sanctions risk input to new products, services, and material changes
- Maintain appropriate sanctions-related records, reporting, and regulatory correspondence
- Escalate material sanctions risks in line with the approved escalation framework
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 7+ years of Financial Crime/AML experience, with significant experience in sanctions, TFS, and sanctions screening, including supervisory or management experience
- Strong knowledge of sanctions risk management, sanctions screening, and sanctions screening systems
- Knowledge of sanctions and watch-list management, including relevant regulatory and list-update requirements
- Knowledge of CBE/EMLCU requirements, FATF standards, and relevant international sanctions regimes, including OFAC, EU, and UK sanctions
- A relevant AML/Financial Crime or sanctions qualification is preferred
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU
- You'd rather escalate a borderline match than clear it to keep the queue moving
- You treat a watch-list update as time-sensitive, not something that can wait until tomorrow
- You can explain a sanctions decision clearly enough that a regulator never has to ask twice
- You want to own the control that keeps the bank out of relationships it can never afford to be in
