Why Apply?

  • High Impact Role: This is your chance to shape and influence AML compliance strategies within a global law firm.

  • Collaborative Environment: Work closely with a small, highly skilled team while connecting with colleagues in the firm's global offices.


In this London-based role, you will report directly to the Associate Director of Risk & Compliance, taking ownership of AML and financial crime compliance.

A solid understanding of UK AML, sanctions, and financial crime regulations is essential, along with excellent research, analytical, and communication skills. Proficiency in Microsoft 365 and AML screening tools is essential, along with the ability to manage priorities, delegate tasks effectively, and mentor team members.


This opportunity offers a competitive salary of up to £120K per annum, making it an attractive career step for a high-calibre professional ready to lead in compliance at a prestigious international law firm.
