We are looking for an experienced Senior Manager to primarily support AML and ABC regulatory review and policy implementation. The role holder will also support the business by providing advice and guidance in respect of key AML / ABC regulatory matters and support the FCT leader to develop and coach the team.

We are seeking a compliance /risk practitioner who:

• is enthusiastic about developing themselves and others, challenging the status quo and driving meaningful change;
• is comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders;
• has an aptitude for digesting and interpreting new regulations in order to provide guidance and direction to client-facing staff;
• is highly motivated and sufficiently confident to work independently, but with support from experienced subject matter experts where needed.
• has a proven ability to work to deadlines.

The team is based in London and there would be a requirement to be present in the office as appropriate, but remote working on an agreed basis is also possible and this role is open to candidates on a national basis.

• Gain experience of the PwC approach to compliance disciplines and in particular AML regulation;
• Acquire knowledge of the 'products' and services offered by the firm;
• Develop transferable relationship management skills, by dealing with senior partners & staff within the firm on regulatory compliance matters and sensitive client issues.

The role holder will be responsible for managing their own workload, in consultation with the Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer and will help to ensure all relevant matters are brought to the attention of the MLRO and Chief Compliance Officer.

The role holder, together with the FCT management team, supports the FCT's objectives by taking responsibility in areas relating to:

• the development of AML and ABC policy policy and guidance;
• assessing the effectiveness of the overarching Financial Crime control framework;
• the provision of subject matter advice to the client-facing practice and central client onboarding team;
• formulation of the firm's response to regulatory initiatives and industry liaison.

Ideally the candidate will be educated to graduate level and hold a professional qualification from the International Compliance Association or an alternative relevant professional body. They will typically have experience within the risk management /compliance / forensic services functions of a professional or financial services firm;

Key required skills are an ability to:

• acquire and apply technical expertise;

• experience of team management and leadership;
• ability to develop and implement appropriate policies and controls;
• support, lead and deliver team objectives and wider Risk Management strategic priorities.

• be adaptive, open minded and agile;
• be passionate about client service;
