Senior Manager​/AVP FCC Systems & Analytics

The role holder is responsible for the end-to-end management, governance, and optimisation of the Bank's FCC technology estate, including Transaction Monitoring (TM), Sanctions Screening (name and payment screening), and Customer Risk Rating (CRR) systems. The role ensures these systems remain effective, calibrated, well-governed, and aligned to CBUAE regulatory expectations and the Bank's model governance framework and risk appetite, with strong oversight of the data feeding and flowing through them.

• Own the governance framework for all FCC systems, including system documentation, configuration baselines, access controls, and periodic attestation of system settings against approved parameters.
• Maintain the inventory of FCC models, rules, scenarios, and screening configurations, ensuring each has a documented rationale, owner, and review cycle.
• Prepare and present system performance reporting to FCC management and relevant committees.
• Ensure FCC systems and their configurations remain compliant with CBUAE AML/CFT regulations, guidance, and examination expectations.

• Manage the full TM scenario lifecycle: coverage assessment against typologies and the Bank's Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment, scenario design, parameterization, testing, deployment, and retirement.
• Lead periodic threshold tuning and optimization exercises using statistical techniques, documenting methodology and results to a regulator-auditable standard.
• Conduct segmentation reviews to ensure customer and transaction populations are appropriately grouped for monitoring purposes.

• Oversee sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening configurations, including watchlist management, list-update timeliness, fuzzy-matching algorithm settings, and match-threshold calibration.
• Manage periodic screening effectiveness testing and coverage assessments against UNSC, UAE Local Terrorist List, OFAC, EU, and other applicable lists.
• Ensure payment screening covers all relevant message types, fields, and channels, and that gaps identified through testing are remediated.

• Administer the CRR model within its host system, ensuring risk factors, weightings, and rating logic operate as per the approved methodology.
• Coordinate periodic recalibration of the CRR model and manage the implementation of methodology changes through structured change control.

• Lead user acceptance testing for all FCC system implementations, upgrades, rule changes, and list/data source changes, including test-case design, execution, defect management, and sign-off.
• Operate a formal FCC change-management process: impact assessment, approval workflow, pre/post-implementation validation, and rollback planning.
• Act as FCC's primary interface with IT, vendors, and project teams on system implementations and enhancements.

• Act as the first line of support for independent model validations of TM, screening, and CRR models, providing documentation, data extracts, configuration evidence, and walkthroughs.
• Track validation findings and regulatory observations relating to FCC systems, own remediation plans, and evidence closure.

• Own the data-quality framework for FCC systems: define critical data elements, establish data-quality rules and KPIs, and monitor completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of data feeds into TM, screening, and CRR platforms.
• Perform periodic data reconciliation reviews between source systems and FCC platforms, escalating and remediating feed failures or truncation issues.
• Work with data owners across the Bank to remediate…
