In this varied role, you'll work across customer due diligence, business banking and financial crime operations, including supporting activity arising from our new customer due diligence system. You'll handle complex case escalations, provide coaching and technical support to colleagues, review processes and controls, and help drive continuous improvement across the department.

A keen eye for detail, strong prioritisation skills and the confidence to support and develop others will be essential. A Financial Crime qualification, such as an ICA Certificate in Anti‑Money Laundering, would be advantageous. In return, you'll have the opportunity to grow your career within a newly structured team, influence its development and make a meaningful impact in an area of increasing strategic importance.
