We’re Hiring: Associate Director, Financial Crime (Data and Technology) FINTRAIL

Cosegic’s Digital Finance practice is scaling rapidly. As Associate Director, you will lead data-centric and technology-enabled engagements across the financial crime spectrum. You’ll partner with payments firms, banks, and other regulated financial firms to assess financial crime risk, design advanced analytic models, implement and independently test detection and monitoring systems, and advise on technology transformation, tooling, and ongoing effectiveness.

This role blends advisory strategy with hands-on technical delivery and requires someone comfortable across data architecture, analytics, ML/AI concepts, and regulatory expectations. It requires a strong understanding of AML and financial crime regulations in the UK, EU (preferable) and other countries, with solid experience in a related role from either another consultancy or from working in internal roles at a financial institution.

• Drive data diagnostics and analytical assessments including data profiling, feature engineering, exploratory analysis, and performance benchmarking.
• Evaluate technology solutions for AML monitoring, customer risk scoring, and customer screening, and support vendor selection and integration processes.
• Collaborate with client data engineering teams to advise on data pipelines, schema design, and pipeline infrastructure needed for analytic and monitoring use cases.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, executive-level recommendations and actionable roadmaps.

• Business Development and Lead Generation – Maintain and develop a personal profile in the industry as an anti-financial crime consultant by attending, speaking and engaging at appropriate industry events, as well as writing content pieces and posting on social media platforms, in order to promote and grow FINTRAIL’s presence.
• Expand FINTRAIL’s business by developing a strong network of industry contacts, pitching for new business, writing or quality-assuring sharp proposals and acquiring clients.

• Personal and Team Development – Develop and support other FINTRAIL team members through appropriate training, guidance and practical direction setting.
• Actively contribute to knowledge-sharing initiatives and support self-learning throughout the team.
• Continue to develop professionally through the completion of relevant training and self-study.

• Creativity and Innovation Agenda – Support the development and execution of a coherent business strategy by contributing to shaping elements of the strategy plan and identifying new, innovative revenue opportunities.
• Develop and improve FINTRAIL’s policies, procedures and processes around internal and external tasks.
