**** About this opportunity
** This role sits within Financial Crime Operations, part of our Economic Crime Prevention function, and plays a key role in protecting our customers and the Group from financial crime.

As a Financial Crime Investigator, you’ll be responsible for investigating Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and assessing whether escalation to the National Crime Agency (NCA) is required.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Financial Crime and operational teams to ensure high-quality, consistent and regulator-ready decision-making.

** In this role, you’ll:
* Assess manual and system-generated alerts using sound judgement
* Investigate SARs and determine appropriate course of action where required
* Manage investigations from initiation through to resolution, meeting SLAs
* Analyse customer activity and assess whether relationships should continue or be exited
* Document findings clearly to a ‘regulator-ready’ standard
* Apply a strong risk-based approach to decision making
* Identify and raise potential financial crime risks
* Deliver against quality and productivity targets
* Contribute to continuous improvement and team collaboration
** WHAT YOU’LL NEED
** We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. While this role may reference a suggested range of experience in years, this is intended as a guide only. What matters most is that you can demonstrate the essential skills outlined. If you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

* Ability to assess complex information and make sound, risk-based decisions
* Strong attention to detail and written communication skills
* Analytical approach with the ability to identify risks and patterns
* Ability to prioritise workload and deliver at pace
