3 days ago

London, United Kingdom Banking Circle Full time

Do you have what it takes to lead and enhance Banking Circle’s global Sanctions strategy and framework in the prevention of financial crime? Then we might have the role for you.

Banking Circle is a truly international and vibrant company with more than 550 skilled and dedicated employees worldwide. We provide the stability of a Bank and the flexibility of a Fintech to deliver a payments solution to our clients as we continue transforming the Banking and Payments industry for the new economy.

About the role
We are looking to hire a professional and highly motivated Head of Sanctions to lead our global Sanctions Screening and Sanctions Advisory teams. You will report to the Head of Business AML and work out of our London office.

In this role, you will collaborate with key stakeholders across the business to deliver a best-in-class Sanctions framework, driving the function’s business strategy and objectives, taking into consideration Banking Circle’s business model and the ever-changing Sanctions landscape. You will implement a high-performance culture and have the overall responsibility of embodying and encouraging a strong compliance culture within the team. You will be responsible for transforming the approach to screening to ensure an effective and efficient framework globally.

What you will be doing

  1. Lead a complex and diverse Sanctions function made up of sanctions screening and advisory teams.
  2. Identify, design, and implement controls to manage sanctions risks and legislation.
  3. Enhance the Bank’s Sanctions approach towards different client verticals and solutions, including 3rd party customer risk.
  4. Participate in internal or external audit reviews, including regulatory reviews.
  5. Take a leading role in Sanctions matters whilst also upskilling senior members of the team to manage these responsibilities.
  6. Monitor and analyse developing legal and regulatory changes and, where required, perform an impact assessment of those changes.
  7. Manage, empower, and continuously develop talent across the team.
  8. Oversight of the financial crime reporting to senior leadership.

What we are looking for
We are looking for an individual with deep Sanctions subject matter expertise, along with a robust understanding of risk management principles. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of relevant experience within sanctions, focusing on sanction advisory, prevention, or exposure. You should have a deep understanding of UN/UK/EU/US sanction regimes, and in-depth working knowledge of sanction policies, regulations, and enforcements.

You should have proven management experience of sanction teams and the ability to execute your strategic agenda within a matrix environment, as well as implement structure and change in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. Furthermore, we expect you to have experience in sanctions-related system development, testing, and implementation.

As a person, you are result-driven while also maintaining a sound level of professionalism, integrity, and respect. You have strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills, and you are a natural motivator who thrives in growing and developing your teams.

As Banking Circle is an international company, it is a requirement that you are fluent in English.

What we offer you
We offer a hybrid work model for our employees to allow for flexibility and productivity. However, we do expect you to spend most of your time in the office to build community and efficiency in the team. Furthermore, we offer a competitive salary and a generous benefit package, opportunities for continuous learning, development, and a dynamic and collaborative culture that values personal initiative and professional achievements.

Would you like to join us?
We will be conducting interviews continuously; therefore, we urge interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible. Please note that applications or CVs coming through email or direct messages will not be accepted or considered.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact Katja Linnea Serritzlew, Global Recruitment Partner on kals@bankingcircle.com. No agencies, please.
