Make an Impact at RSM UK

Working within our central specialist Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) team as part of a wider risk, compliance, and assurance teams, you will perform critical operational tasks to support service line teams as they evaluate client and engagement take-on and due diligence. Our continued growth and commitment to evolve RSM into a Digital First business, with infrastructure fit for the future, presents a rare opportunity to play a role in transforming our client acceptance processes which support a critical (and regulated) element of the firm’s operations. This is our prospective client’s first interaction with RSM’s systems and processes, so it is essential that we are efficient and effective in delivering this key risk mitigation step, whilst also providing a premium experience.

If you have a keen eye for detail, enjoy providing excellent customer service, and building relationships across a large and diverse organisation, then this role could be a good fit. This role would be based in our London office but may occasionally require travel to other UK-based offices.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Monitoring operational metrics and driving process and policy improvements within the team and the wider business in relation to AML.
• Reviewing high risk matters escalated to the AML team, advising client teams as a subject-matter expert, including areas such as sanctions.
• Facilitating firmwide AML risk assessments, partnering with the Money Laundering Compliance Principals in each of the service lines.
• Leading core quality control processes within the team, including sample selection, feedback and remediation.

What we are looking for:

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

• Significant experience interpreting legislation and guidance to produce practical and effective policies and procedures, particularly having included CDD and AML policy and procedures in a similarly regulated environment.
• Excellent communication skills, specifically capable of being clear, concise, and precise.
• Natural curiosity and desire to get to the bottom of things.
• Flexible and adaptable working style and enjoy learning and working as a team.

What we can offer you:

We recognise that our people are our most important assets. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.

• Hybrid and flexible working.
• 27 days holiday (with the option of purchasing additional days).
• Lifestyle, health, and wellbeing including financial wellbeing benefits such as financial tools, electric car scheme and access to a virtual GP.
• Access to a suite of 300+ courses on demand developed by our inhouse talent development team.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM

At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client's needs. Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That’s why we’re working together to ensure our firm’s principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
