The Innovative Analytics Consultant role sits at the heart of our Financial Crime Analytics function, driving the future of Economic Crime prevention through data, technology and smarter, streamlined methodologies. As part of the Innovative Analytics team, you’ll work across all areas of AML, including Transaction Monitoring, Screening, Reporting and Customer Risk Assessment, while helping shape how the organisation combats financial crime.

A key focus of the role will be supporting and managing ongoing BAU activity, including developing, testing and deploying changes and enhancements across a variety of project‑based initiatives.

We’re looking for someone who brings a sharp eye for detail and thrives on solving open‑ended challenges by applying their technical expertise. You’ll communicate clearly and approach your work with a strong change‑management mindset, collaborating confidently and drawing on the knowledge of other stakeholders to deliver thoughtful, well‑informed solutions. You’ll gain exposure to a wide network of teams, take ownership of your own projects and contribute to a growing, forward‑thinking environment where your ideas and initiative will be valued.

In a period of rapid evolution, the right mindset matters as much as the right skill set. The ideal candidate is proactive, positive and comfortable navigating ambiguity, using data and technology to spot opportunities and turn them into well‑designed, well‑documented solutions. Confidence in delivering improvements, tracking their impact and supporting ongoing business needs will set you up for success in this dynamic and influential team.

This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity.
