Senior AML Manager

Job Overview

We are looking for a sharp, operationally minded AML professional to sit within our second line of defence function. This role exists to bridge the gap between regulatory expectation and operational reality: you will hold deep AML/CTF subject matter expertise and use it to systematically identify where processes fall short — through inefficiency, control gaps, or design…

Key points

  1. Lead the local AML Ops team, ensuring KPIs are met and allocating appropriate resourcing, and supporting the Head of AML Ops.

  2. Map and critically assess existing AML/CTF processes end-to-end — CDD, name screening, ongoing due diligence, travel rule, transaction monitoring…

  3. Translate findings into structured, prioritised improvement proposals with clear risk rationale, implementation path, ownership, and measurable success criteria.

  4. Challenge first-line operational teams constructively but rigorously; hold them accountable to regulatory standards and internal policy without becoming an operational bottleneck.

  5. Demonstrable track record of identifying process failures and driving material, measurable improvements in an AML or compliance context.

  6. Strong working knowledge of AMLD IV/V/VI, FATF Recommendations and EBA AML/CTF Guidelines.

  7. Structured analytical approach: able to decompose a complex process, identify the critical failure point, and communicate it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  8. Credible and direct: comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and first-line management with evidence-based positions.
