We’re looking for a hands‑on manager to join our Nominated Officer (NO) Team. You’ll lead high‑profile investigations, make disclosure decisions to the NCA, and act as a Risk subject matter expert (SME) supporting first and second line colleagues to deliver fast, high‑quality outcomes that meet legal obligations.

• Own complex SAR investigations end‑to‑end: gather facts, assess risk, decide on disclosure, and document decisions clearly.

• Excellent investigation skills and operational judgement – experience in investigations ensures focus on what matters, consideration of all relevant facts and timely, accountable decisions.
• Problem‑solving using critical thinking – curiosity, use of data and facts to identify issues, find realistic solutions and work with others to implement them.
• Strong stakeholder management – collaborative work with stakeholders across the bank, peers in the wider regulated sector, law enforcement and the regulator.
• Leadership – ability to work in a high‑performance team, provide constructive challenge and support, and drive continuous improvement.
• Innovate at pace – simplify processes, remove bureaucracy and work smarter.
• Wider understanding of the UK’s Economic Crime Ecosystem to inform strategic change.
