Financial Crime Outsourcing Oversight Manager

At a glance: The Compliance Function (Department) is the Risk Type Owner (RTO) over the Compliance and Behavioural Risks contained within the Risk Management Framework. Its mission is to assist senior management in identifying, assessing and effectively managing the compliance and behavioural risks of ABN AMRO.

Your job

To monitor and oversee the governance and oversight of activities performed by ABN AMRO Group or third parties that have an impact on the financial crime risk profile of AAB UK and ensure compliance with applicable UK and EU regulations. The role is critical in maintaining effective governance and oversight of third-party and any group-level service providers, ensuring accurate data, meaningful management information (MI), and full adherence to UK and EU financial crime compliance requirements.

Increased regulatory scrutiny over outsourced activities and financial crime risk management, coupled with a more complex cross-border regulatory landscape between the EU and UK post-Brexit, means institutions must demonstrate effective end-to-end control, regardless of where services are performed. This role ensures AAB UK’s ability to meet its regulatory obligations and to exercise genuine oversight of critical outsourced financial crime processes.
