Lead and Enhance Banking Circle's Global Sanctions Strategy

Banking Circle is a leading international company with a strong presence in the financial industry. We are seeking an experienced professional to lead and enhance our global sanctions strategy and framework in the prevention of financial crime.

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. You will implement a high-performance culture and have the overall responsibility of embodying and encouraging a strong compliance culture within the team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Identify, design, and implement controls to manage sanctions risks and legislation.
  • Enhance the Bank's sanctions approach towards different client verticals and solutions, including 3rd party customer risk.
  • Participate in internal or external audit reviews, including regulatory reviews.
  • Monitor and analyse developing legal and regulatory changes and, where required, perform an impact assessment of those changes.
  • Manage, empower, and continuously develop talent across the team.
  • Oversight of the financial crime reporting to senior leadership.

Requirements:

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

What We Offer:

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.
