Santander Corporate & Investment Banking (SCIB) is Santander\'s global division that supports some of the world\'s most complex and sophisticated corporate and institutional clients, offering customised services and value-added wholesale products to best meet their needs.

In this challenging role in Financial Crime Compliance team, you\'ll be supporting the identification, management and monitoring of Financial Crime (FC) risks associated with the Bank\'s customers and third-parties in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

You\'ll use your data and systems experience combined with your FC knowledge to lead the investigation and analysis of potentially suspicious activity and emerging FC typologies.

If you\'ve performed a similar role previously, this could be the perfect opportunity to develop your career.

The difference you’ll make:

• Overseeing relevant monitoring systems and controls to ensure new developments, thresholds, and scenarios are appropriate for the Bank\'s activity and services (including system testing, calibration and tuning)

• Using data analysis to identify client or transaction risk and overseeing the threat mitigation program to facilitate the proactive identification and detection of emerging financial crime risks

• Receiving and assessing escalations of suspicious activity from other teams

• Investigating cases using internal and external information sources and liaising with other Santander teams

• Leading interaction with UK Law Enforcement agencies and other relevant industry bodies

• Recording the relevant management information for analysis and recommendation to relevant stakeholders and committees

What you’ll bring:

These are the essential requirements you need to be successful in this role:

• Extensive experience of investigating Financial Crime related activity and filing suspicious activity reports

• Demonstrable experience of using systems and software to analyse data

• Excellent critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills

• In-depth knowledge of Financial Crime risks and how these are managed

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Industry recognised Financial Crime qualification, ACAMS, ICA or equivalent

• Meticulous attention to detail

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to make decisions and build positive relationships with stakeholders

• Well-developed organisational, planning and prioritisation skills

What else you need to know:

This role is based at our offices in Triton Square, London located within easy walking distance from Warren Street and Euston.

We want our people to thrive at work and home and also be able to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop. To support this, we offer the ability to work remotely occasionally.

If you apply for this role in this location, it’s important you consider your travelling distance, time and cost from your home to the office location. We’re happy to discuss specific working patterns and arrangement within this hybrid approach during the recruitment process.

If you’re interested in this role but with part time hours or a job-share we would still love to hear from you and discuss these.
