Job Title: KYC CDD Advisory Manager
Location: London OR Birmingham (3 days per week onsite)
Length: 6 months (PAYE only)
Overall Purpose of the role
We are looking for a hands‑on Financial Crime Advisory Specialist to join our Investment Banking division in Birmingham. This is a pivotal role sitting within the First Line of Defense (1LOD), acting as the bridge between programmatic risk management and practical CDD execution. You won't just be sitting on the sidelines giving advice; you will be “in the weeds,” helping to implement changes, challenge existing processes, and ensure our global policies translate effectively into local operations.
Key Accountabilities
- Programmatic Risk Management: Oversee end‑to‑end risk for CDD and Financial Crime, including change management risk and operational/regulatory risk.
- Check & Challenge: Provide expert 1LOD advice to the CDD team, offering robust “push back” and guidance to ensure compliance standards are met.
- Change Implementation: Dedicate approximately 20% of your time to driving changes originating from the IFC Change Team.
- Hands‑on Advisory: Balance high‑level strategic advice with the practical implementation of Fin Crime policies and procedures.
Key Skills
The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between technical KYC knowledge and broader Financial Crime expertise.
Technical Requirements
- Financial Crime Advisory: Proven experience in a dedicated Fin Crime Advisory role is essential.
- KYC & CDD Expertise: Deep understanding of KYC procedures within an International Corporate Banking environment (EMEA, APAC, or Global experience).
- Risk Methodology: Experience in developing or managing customer risk assessments, ratings, and the underlying methodology.
- Global Change Experience: A track record of implementing policy changes on a global scale, including managing complex jurisdictional differences.
Soft Skills
- Ability to influence and “challenge” stakeholders effectively.
- A proactive approach to problem‑solving in a fast‑paced Investment Banking environment.
- Adaptability to handle both advisory tasks and “doing” the work.
