**Job Description**:
**Whats next for your career?**

**Financial Crime at PA**

Our Financial Crime experts have led some of the most exciting work that the consulting industry has seen in building leading Financial Crime intelligence functions. We have helped global regulators to become more sophisticated and data-driven in their AML/CTF supervision and enforcement as well as supporting the delivery of Transaction Monitoring engines driven by next-generation technologies.

As a Financial Crime Consultant, you will be working with our diverse and high performing delivery teams transforming Financial Crime risk management frameworks, crafting and implementing technologies across customer onboarding, payment screening and Transaction Monitoring. You will also liaise with senior client stakeholders in drafting policies to help to prevent, detect and investigate money laundering, bribery and corruption, fraud and market abuse.

**Financial Crime Makes a Difference**

**Recent Credential**: Design and implementation of a Transaction Monitoring solution for a major European payment services provider - PA was appointed by a major international merchant acquirer to design and implement a proportional, risk-based Transaction Monitoring solution in response to regulator challenge. PA was engaged to transition to a ML-based system in order to maximise risk mitigation, reduce the risk appetite and mitigate the ‘hard-to-reach’ risks currently unmitigated by rules-based controls.

The new system went live with numerous new Transaction Monitoring controls, a peer profile model, additional transaction data streams and new team of alert investigators. Our work helped to resolve the regulator's concerns by massively increasing the capacity and scale of AML monitoring for the new controls added - each configured to spot different suspicious trends in the transaction data. The transactions from previously unmonitored new card payment types were added to the control set, and new alert investigators were hired and trained to work the additional alerts from the new controls.

**Qualifications**:
To rise to the challenge this role brings, you will possess specialist experience in this area with a good understanding of Transaction Monitoring processes and systems and have change and transformation capabilities.

Specific experience we require includes:

- ** TM technology**: understanding the approach for how Transaction Monitoring systems are selected, designed, configured, tested and implemented by banks and other financial institutions.
- ** Financial Crime regulations**: what are the UK and global regulatory expectations on Transaction Monitoring platforms and CDD.
- ** Controls**: Understanding how Transaction Monitoring platforms identify suspicious activity.
- ** Operating model**: understanding how Transaction Monitoring platform operating models are designed, how they interact with other components of the Financial Crime ecosystem.
- ** Optimisation**: understanding how to improve the efficiency of platforms, the impact and cost of inefficient systems.
- ** Investigation**: understanding how alerts are reviewed and handled appropriately.
- ** Next-generation technology**: understanding how next generation technology can enhance existing Transaction Monitoring capability.

Other core skills and competencies:

- Strong understanding of Financial Crime regulatory landscape
- Data analytics
- Change management and large-scale transformation programmes
- Core consultancy skills
