With a legacy of over a century, the firm supports a wide range of clients and is committed to best-in-class regulatory compliance and robust financial crime oversight.
Your new role
As Financial Crime Officer, you will support the second line of defence, working closely with stakeholders across the firm to ensure adherence to AML and wider financial crime regulations. Your responsibilities will include:
*Conducting risk assessments and advising on CDD and EDD, including reviewing and approving higher-risk cases.

*Supporting the production of MI, dashboards, and regulatory reporting.
*Maintaining financial crime policies, logs, and procedures.
*Drafting and preparing SARs for submission to relevant authorities.
*Providing clear, consistent guidance on financial crime matters across the business.
What you’ll need to succeed
*3-4 years’ experience in a second-line AML/financial crime role within a professional services environment (such as accountancy, audit, or advisory).
*Strong understanding of UK AML regulations, CDD/EDD processes, complex structures, and relevant guidance (e.g., JMLSG, CCAB).
*Exposure to the NCA SAR process, with experience drafting SARs desirable.
*Excellent research skills with the ability to produce concise, accurate summaries.
*Strong written and verbal communication skills and exceptional attention to detail.
*Confidence to influence senior stakeholders and articulate financial crime risks clearly.
