**About the role**

The CDD Team are an enabling team for our Commercial Lending business. That means you’ll be a trusted advisor and SME for the lending teams, helping them take ownership of CDD.

Alongside this, you will support the Commercial Lending department’s adherence to the Group’s Risk Appetite Framework in relation to financial crime risks, with a particular focus on decision making and governance reporting.

Underpinning this will be your commitment to making decisions with integrity, balancing commercial objectives with responsible lending. You’ll also help ensure that CDD activities are applied consistently, and they comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
