• Two 12-month fixed-term opportunities.
• Genuine potential for strong performers to transition into permanent roles.
• Opportunity to take full ownership of a defined controls portfolio.
• Broad exposure across corporate functions rather than one narrow risk domain.

This is a permanent Line 2 Risk Assurance position responsible for providing independent assurance over the organisation’s Financial Crime framework and control environment.

You will become a key Financial Crime subject matter expert, leading assurance reviews across the customer lifecycle and giving senior stakeholders confidence that regulatory obligations are being met. Where controls or processes are not operating effectively, you will be expected to clearly explain the issue, assess its significance and recommend practical action.

You will also contribute to the evolution of the Financial Crime program as the organisation introduces technologies such as advanced screening, case workflow automation and AI-assisted review processes.

Key responsibilities:

• Plan, scope and lead Line 2 assurance reviews across Financial Crime and AML/CTF.
• Assess the design and operating effectiveness of Financial Crime controls.
• Review customer lifecycle processes, including onboarding, ongoing monitoring and enhanced customer due diligence.

• Assess remediation activity and validate that identified issues have been appropriately resolved.
• Analyse incidents, review findings and control failures to identify systemic risks and emerging trends.
• Provide independent review and challenge to senior Financial Crime and business stakeholders.
• Prepare clear assurance reports and present findings at senior leadership and governance forums.
• Recommend where future assurance activity should be targeted based on risk, incidents and customer trends.
• Support Financial Crime change initiatives, including new systems, screening tools and program adjustments.
• Provide oversight and guidance to analysts contributing to assurance reviews.
• Improve assurance methodologies through data analytics, technology and more efficient testing approaches.

Skills and experience:

You will be an experienced Financial Crime, risk, compliance or assurance professional who is comfortable making informed judgements and standing behind your recommendations.

To be successful, you will ideally bring:

• Strong knowledge of Financial Crime regulation, including AML, counter-terrorism financing, sanctions and related customer controls.
• Experience working within a Line 1 Financial Crime function, Line 2 assurance team or another relevant risk and compliance environment.
• An end-to-end understanding of AML/CTF frameworks and the Financial Crime customer lifecycle.
• Experience assessing controls, conducting assurance reviews or supporting regulatory remediation programs.
• The ability to interpret policies, procedures and regulatory requirements and quickly become the SME for a defined area.
• Confidence presenting findings and challenging senior stakeholders, including General Manager and executive-level audiences.
• Strong judgement, with the ability to distinguish between genuine regulatory exposure and unnecessary process complexity.
• Experience within gaming, banking, financial services or another highly regulated industry.
• Strong written reporting, analytical and stakeholder management capability.

Relevant qualifications or certifications such as ACAMS or ICA would be beneficial but are not essential.

Benefits and additional information:

• Permanent opportunity within a critical and increasingly important area of the organisation.
• Broad exposure across the full Financial Crime and customer risk lifecycle.
• Direct engagement with senior Risk, Financial Crime and business leaders.
• Genuine influence over assurance priorities, control design and program improvement.
• Opportunity to work across emerging Financial Crime technologies and data-led assurance.
