  • strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail, with an ability to understand and assess sanctions scenarios and provide clear, commercially balanced and politically sensible advice;

  • excellent drafting skills, with experience in drafting, reviewing and negotiating sanctions related legal documentation and disclosure statements;
  • sufficient awareness of latest regulatory and legislative developments;
  • ability to work efficiently and effectively in completing assigned duties, often to tight deadlines;
  • a law degree from a leading university or a professional qualification from an internationally recognised body - ICA Financial Crime / Sanctions / AML Diploma or Advanced Certificate or similar; and
  • excellent command of written and spoken English. Fluency in an additional language, in particular Russian, French, Turkish or Arabic, would be an asset.
