This challenging position operates within a fast-paced environment and involves collaboration with current AML Compliance Supervisors to evaluate client due diligence ("CDD") assessments and to review and authorize CDD evaluations conducted by the AML processing team. Upon successful completion of training and obtaining the necessary approvals, your primary responsibility will be to assess and endorse checks performed by AML Analysts across diverse client categories.

We seek candidates with a minimum of 5 years' experience in AML/CDD/KYC and at least 2 years' experience in a QA/sign-off capacity within an AML/CDD/KYC context. Comprehensive training on Savills procedures will be provided to the successful applicant.

  • When necessary, perform CDD evaluations for Savills clients and partners in accordance with established procedures utilizing compliance systems, logs, and documentation.
  • Gather and analyze information for corporate entities and individual clients from pertinent sources (e.g., Companies House) and identify additional information needs.
  • Offer guidance and support to the AML processing team on intricate and/or high-risk AML scenarios.
  • Engage with internal stakeholders (Fee Earners / Admin Representatives) and clients/solicitors to acquire or clarify information received.
  • Ensure that CDD evaluations are completed within stipulated timeframes in accordance with Savills UK procedures and compliance management standards.
  • Conduct investigations and resolve sanctions screening alerts as mandated by compliance management.
  • In addition to the aforementioned tasks, the role may require undertaking other responsibilities as reasonably requested from time to time.

Occasional travel between Savills offices may be necessary.

Essential Skills

  • At least 5 years' experience in AML/CDD/KYC and 2 years of prior experience in a QA/sign-off CDD/KYC role is essential, with familiarity with all client types.
  • Demonstrated business acumen and professionalism due to interaction with all levels of the organization from entry-level employees to Executive Directors.
  • Strong administrative, research, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Resilient character with exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • High attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to prioritize workload effectively.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
  • Self-motivated individual who embraces challenges and strives for excellence.
  • Goal-oriented: commits to ambitious objectives and consistently delivers results.
  • Collaborative team player: fosters relationships and consults with others, quickly establishing trust and credibility.
  • Knowledge of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, Terrorism Act 2000, and Joint Money Laundering Steering Group Guidance.
  • A working knowledge of HMRC's AML guidance is advantageous.
