Embedded Banking FinCrime Oversight Support Analyst

Trust unlocks our greatest potential. For decades, the clearing of payments remained unchanged and unchallenged. We asked, what if there was a better way? What if we could make banking infrastructure faster, safer, more reliable, and easier to access for all? Here is where you can think radically and responsibly to find the best solution.

What happens when you know you’re inherently trusted? Trust creates safety. Safety encourages you to be brave, to challenge, to fail, to try new things and to execute. At ClearBank everything revolves around trust. We’re not expected to earn it, but we are expected not to break it. We’re trusted to own it. To solve issues in the moment. To know a good risk when we see one, and the judgement to know that ‘can’ doesn’t always mean you ‘should’.

What you can expect: ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank.

If that excites you, how about joining our 1st Line Financial Crime Embedded Banking Oversight Team as an Embedded Banking FinCrime Oversight Support Analyst? Reporting to the Head of Embedded Banking Financial Crime Oversight, you will support the FinCrime Oversight Managers with the completion of a detailed and comprehensive assessment on our new Embedded Banking Partners to determine the adequacy of their financial crime control environment, with a specific focus and oversight of the outsourced processes and controls.

Your role includes:

• Support the completion of the Financial Crime Systems and Controls Assessments for all new Embedded Banking relationships in accordance with policies, standards, and procedures.
• Ensuring and overseeing ongoing compliance with all internal policies, standards, industry guidance and regulations.
• Support the collation of internal and external Key Risk Indicators enabling data driven performance monitoring.
• Act as a secretary for all Embedded Banking Partner financial crime governance sessions - taking ownership of deck submissions, minutes and action cascades.
• Building and maintaining relationships with Embedded Banking Partners and internal stakeholders across the business to meet role objectives and deliver key activities.

What you’ll bring: To excel in this role, you’ll also need:

• Experience in risk and control frameworks and compliance with regulatory standards specifically in relation to financial crime, especially in relation to outsourcing of those controls.
• Ability to work to tight deadlines, whilst maintaining high level of quality and competency.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Self-starter, able to work independently when needed, and to prioritise tasks.
• Ability to communicate and negotiate with key stakeholders and customers.
• Strong attention to detail and good judgement.

What makes a great ClearBank team member? Does this sound like you?

• You focus on solutions and positive outcomes, thinking radically and responsibly to find the best result for our customers, your colleagues and the bank.
• You actively seek feedback from others to drive your growth and development, always assuming positive intent from others and develop strong, trusting relationships with your colleagues and customers.
• You always strive for the highest quality, but you know that done is better than perfect; you welcome a challenge knowing that they learn as you go and iterate.
• ‘I’ before ’we’, isn’t in your vocabulary.
