London, United Kingdom NatWest Group Full time

Join us as our Head of Financial Crime Strategy

This is a great opportunity for a strategic and analytical financial crime specialist to define, direct, and oversee the implementation and delivery of the next phase and level of Natwest’s Financial Crime strategy and related goals across the Enterprise.

You’ll be joining us at an exciting time of change as our Financial Crime Hub is evolving its Financial Crime Strategy to adopt a more holistic approach, utilizing cutting-edge technology to better detect financial crime, becoming more effective and efficient, and producing better customer outcomes.

With a clear vision of our Financial Crime strategy, you’ll define and implement our business architecture, working across the bank to ensure an aligned approach and translating analysis and developments into business requirements.

What you’ll do

In this senior role, you’ll implement a holistic strategy across multiple complex disciplines, ensuring it remains effective and efficient in detecting and preventing financial crime. You’ll drive and accelerate the implementation across the Hub teams in the UK and India and work closely with Franchises, Functions, and Legal Entities (FFLE’s) to interlock the financial crime strategy. You’ll also work closely with relevant Digital X areas on strategy, priorities, and the competitive landscape, providing strategic analysis, customer insights, and market context to support the development of the strategy and ensure best-in-class approaches and lessons learned are utilized.

In addition to this, you’ll be accountable for:

  1. Determining the practicability, feasibility, and operability of deploying new technical solutions to understand if they can be applied across the complex financial crime detection and prevention landscape.
  2. Redesigning the operating model and business architecture across the enterprise, working closely with Financial Crime Technology, Data and Analytics, and the FFLE’s to support as required.
  3. Analysing the strategic implications of business issues impacting financial crime strategy and managing the delivery of projects.
  4. Providing leadership, guidance, and direction to the strategy implementation.
  5. Providing assurance of the new model internally and externally, working with Regulators as needed.
  6. Monitoring and analysing competitor activity and emerging trends and risks to provide in-house consultancy support and to design, drive, and evolve the strategy across Digital X and the wider bank.
  7. Winning the hearts and minds within the organisation regarding the evolved strategy and the benefits to the Financial Crime Hub, Natwest Group as a whole, broader society, and our regulators.
The skills you’ll need

To excel in this role, you’ll need thorough knowledge and experience of the financial crime sector and a broad understanding of the current and future risks and issues facing the business, preferably having already delivered an evolved financial crime strategy across a complex organisation. Along with substantial experience of strategy within a financial services environment, you’ll have strong analytic skills and the ability to use data to derive customer and competitor insights.

We’re also looking for:

  1. Excellent leadership skills, with the ability to deliver well-substantiated analysis, solutions, and recommendations to stakeholders in response to a wide range of strategic issues and opportunities.
  2. Excellent stakeholder management skills and strong written and verbal communication skills, able to influence at all levels.
  3. Expertise in strategic and analytical thinking.
  4. The ability to encourage high-quality engagement and output in response to a varied portfolio of project needs.
