Apply for the Senior Financial Crime Officer – London Market
Location: London
Job Description:

I’m working on an exciting Senior Financial Crime opportunity with a major player in the London Market — ideally suited to someone from a (re)insurance background with strong exposure to marine or other specialist lines.

This is a functional leadership role — not policy-writing from the sidelines. You’ll manage a small, expert team, oversee complex investigations, handle advisory queries, and engage with stakeholders across underwriting, claims, and finance.

Key Focus:

  • Advisory & investigations across all areas of financial crime (AML, Sanctions, ABC, Market Abuse, Fraud)

  • Day-to-day interaction with the business, managing high-risk escalations and licensing queries

  • Regular contact with regulatory frameworks including UK/EU/US/UN sanctions

  • Coaching and developing the team, contributing to broader compliance strategy

✅ Your Background:

  • 7+ years in financial crime within (re)insurance, preferably the London Market

  • Experience handling sanctions, investigations, and regulatory advisory

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to partner with senior business stakeholders

  • Team leadership experience

  • Marine experience is highly desirable — but other high-risk/specialty lines considered

Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days in-office) Type: Permanent Salary: Up to £90,000 + 10% pension + bonus + excellent benefits

If you’re an experienced financial crime leader ready for a visible, hands-on challenge in the London market — drop me a message or apply directly.
