3 weeks ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Lgcplus Full time

The SRA is on the frontline of combating money laundering and economic crime, and we are looking for a visionary leader to join us as Director of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and spearhead our efforts. Be the authoritative voice on discussions on economic crime - representing the SRA and the legal sector with key audiences including government, other regulators, firms and our oversight supervisors.
Make a considerable and meaningful contribution to protecting the public and instilling its confidence in legal services
Lead cross functional teams that manage economic crime risks in the legal sector
Legal services are targeted by criminals to launder money because of the transactions solicitors facilitate and the funds they handle. The Director of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) will be at the forefront of legal services' fight against money laundering. You will ensure that the SRA continues to remain at the cutting edge of fighting economic crime in the legal sector through policy making, engagement with stakeholders, and leading operational activity, effectively navigating an ever-evolving landscape.
You will lead and motivate highly skilled teams to deliver operational activity and policy work that delivers on our strategic objectives to ensure that we maintain confidence in legal services and our profile as a market leader.
The Anti-Money Laundering team at the SRA comprises:
The AML Investigations team which investigates AML and sanctions breaches to achieve an effective deterrent
The AML Proactive Supervision team which runs a programme of thematic reviews, inspections and desk-based reviews to assess firms' controls to prevent economic crime
The AML policy team which liaises with government and other stakeholders, and develops policy and guidance.
Being a proven senior leader, you will use your highly developed communication and engagement skills to influence internal and external stakeholders at a senior level.
Experience at senior level in a regulatory environment or regulated firm
Proven operational leader with experience of managing the delivery of casework to meet performance metrics and to a high standard and tight deadlines
Good understanding of the legal regulatory and/or AML policy landscape in which we operate
Experience of leading significant change programmes and projects at pace, managing competing and shifting priorities
Proven track record of managing and influencing internal and external stakeholders at a senior level
Highly effective communicator, both in writing and in presenting and speaking in public
We have a hybrid working model with a blend of home working and office presence of two days a week. The AML team is based in Birmingham so the role requires weekly travel to the Birmingham office. The postholder will also need to travel to London, and on occasion elsewhere, to engage with both external and internal stakeholders.
We are happy to have a chat, in confidence, about any aspect of this role, including the remuneration package and associated details.
