Key responsibilities
- Support the Head of FinCrime in owning and running Capital on Tap's compliance monitoring programme, designing thematic reviews and control tests that assess whether 1st line financial crime controls are working as intended.
- Maintain and develop AML/CTF policies, procedures, and risk appetite standards — drafting updates in response to regulatory change, monitoring findings, QA output, and internal audit recommendations.
- Act as the 2nd line subject matter expert for complex financial crime escalations - including PEPs, sanctions, adverse media, complex ownership structures, and high-risk onboarding - providing a governance view rather than making operational decisions.
