As an AML Compliance Specialist at Savills, you will play a critical role in ensuring the company's compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.

This demanding role within a high-volume environment will work alongside existing AML Compliance Supervisors to process client due diligence (CDD) checks and review and approve CDD checks carried out by the AML processing team. After successfully completing training and achieving the required sign-offs, the primary focus of this role will be the review and approval of checks completed by AML Analysts covering a variety of client types.

Key Responsibilities
  • Review and approve CDD carried out by the AML processing team in accordance with the Regulations.
  • Where required, complete CDD checks for Savills clients and counterparties in accordance with Savills UK procedures using compliance systems, logs, and files.
  • Obtain and review information for corporates and private individuals from relevant sources (e.g., Companies House) and determine further information requirements.
  • Provide advice and guidance to the AML processing team on complex and/or high-risk AML cases.
  • Liaise with internal stakeholders (Fee Earners/Admin Reps) and clients/solicitors to obtain information or clarify information already received.
  • Ensure CDD checks are conducted within the time frames in accordance with Savills UK procedures and compliance management.
  • Completion of investigation and a resolution of sanctions screening alerts as required by compliance management.
  • In addition to the tasks described above, the job holder may be required to carry out other duties as may reasonably be required from time to time.

Occasional travel between Savills offices may be required.

Key Skills
  • At least 5 years' experience in AML/CDD/KYC and 2 years prior experience in a QA/sign-off CDD/KYC role is essential, with knowledge of all client types.
  • Business acumen and professionalism is required due to the exposure to all levels of the business from graduates to Executive Directors.
  • Strong administration, research, and problem-solving experience.
  • Resilient personality with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • High attention to detail, organisation skills, and workload prioritisation.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
  • Self-starter, who relishes challenges and strives for the best.
  • Focussed: commits to challenging goals and delivers consistently against these.
  • Strong team player: builds relationships and consults with others, quickly establishes 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 desirable.
