• Furthermore, the role will also require the expert to work on more holistic AML risk assessments, create and update policies, drive initiatives in process enhancements, align with internal and external stakeholders;
•   Challenge the status quo continuously, finding AML Compliance solutions for new products, setups and processes;
•   Engage with key stakeholders in and outside of the Compliance teams, and work cooperatively to design, develop and implement enhancements.

Who you are

•   A passionate Financial Crime Investigator, motivated to perform sound AML investigations and help a talented team of motivated AML professionals to reach their full potential;
•   A minimum of (3 years+) of relevant experience in AML Compliance and/ or AML Operations with a strong emphasis on (complex) FEC-Investigations and preferably including completion of SAR reports;
