You'll help assess impacts on people and workflows, ensuring sustainable risk mitigation in line with regulatory expectations and internal control frameworks.

• Collaborate with key stakeholders across Compliance, Risk, and Technology to gather, document, and validate business and functional requirements for financial crime initiatives, including AML, sanctions screening, and fraud prevention - ensuring solutions meet regulatory standards and operational needs.
