    • Oversee the financial crime framework, including anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and sanctions compliance.
    • Ensure compliance with relevant regulations (e.g., FCA, PSD2, AMLD, FinCEN, GDPR) and industry best practices.
    • Collaborate with compliance teams to maintain robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processes.
    • Drive the continuous enhancement of transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting (SARs).
    • Establish and lead a fraud operations team to investigate and respond to fraud cases, chargebacks, and disputes.
    • Develop key fraud KPIs and reporting metrics, providing insights to senior leadership on fraud trends and performance.
    • Liaise with external partners, law enforcement, and regulatory bodies to share intelligence and coordinate investigations.
    • Conduct root cause analysis of fraud incidents and recommend enhancements to fraud prevention mechanisms.
