Programme Director / Manager

Our Client – an industry leading, financial services consultancy, have engaged us on an Onboarding / KYC project team build for one of their Insurance Clients.

We're looking for a Interim Programme Director / Manager to lead on a client on-boarding initiative, (immediate start – with initial 4 month scope piece, followed by implementation phase) which will see you spearhead change across full lifecycle client onboarding – to rationalise process and procedure across a distributed client organisation, amalgamating the organisation and focussing on KYC: AML, CTF, APF and ESG.

Key project objectives below:

1. Identify and set definitions for the data points we need to capture to meet our IPO due diligence, regulatory, financial crime, and ESG-related requirements.
2. Capture and maintain accurate, complete, and validated data across all onboarding entities to meet regulatory, financial crime, and ESG-related requirements.
3. Enable monitoring and oversight of financial crime, regulatory and ESG risks and supplier integrity – supporting transparency, in line with stakeholder expectations and sustainability commitments.
4. Align with their enterprise-wide risk appetite statements and control frameworks.
5. Leverage existing in-house resources, platforms, and technologies to ensure efficiency, scalability, and minimal duplication.

You will scope, plan, lead, manage and report across the entirety of the project, with a support team that consists of two Workstream Leads – one "current state" and one "future state" and five Onboarding SME's / B.A's. These SME's will each have a separate focus area.

You will be someone with previous experience of Onboarding / KYC / AML transformations / projects into Insurance, and the gravitas & skill to balance the client service / relationship with the long-term risk insulation of the Firm.
