This is an excellent role for someone with existing experience in AML interested in joining a growing and ambitious team in a hugely supportive environment.

This is a permanent position, based in either our Bristol or London offices on a hybrid working pattern with three days in the office.

The team

A positive and supportive team culture is a vital part of both the wider Risk & Compliance Team and the firm as a whole. Working together is at the heart of everything we do. It enables us to deliver a professional, high standard of service to the business within a happy and enjoyable environment. We believe in nurturing each person's strengths, supporting them when they need it and encouraging them to progress through personal development and training. We are a progressive and ever adapting team where opinions are always valued and input is always welcome.

What you'll do

As a CMI Officer (AML) your main responsibilities will include:

  • Collect and / or review CDD evidence required to meet the appropriate standards, in line with OC policy and procedures.
  • Prepare CDD Reports and risk assessments and liaise with and provide guidance to fee-earners to obtain further CDD where the existing documentation does not meet the requirements as set out by OC policy.
  • Monitor the CDD evidence gathered for new clients and new matters for existing clients and manage the Ongoing Monitoring required by OC policy, including preparing CDD Reviews, in association with fee-earners as appropriate.
  • Undertake PEPs and Sanctions checks as part of CMI and escalate matters to the Senior CMI Officers (AML)/ Deputy CMI Manager (AML)/ CMI Manager as required.
  • Develop and maintain 'internal client' relationships across the organisation to deliver on project goals, identify and pursue new strategic initiatives, collect and provide feedback, etc.
  • Assist with projects undertaken by or impacting the Risk & Compliance Team as required.
  • Provide relevant support to the wider Client & Matter Inception and Risk & Compliance Team, as required.

Your skills

We are looking for someone who has proven AML related experience, gained in an international, regulated firm (law, banking or credit institution for example). More specifically we need someone who:

  • Is fully conversant with the requirements of the UK Money Laundering Regulations and the EU Directives on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and a basic understanding of Sanctions legislation and its impact.
  • Is familiar with a broad range of international company structures.
  • Has prior exposure to high risk clients, sanctions screening and PEPs.
  • Has experience obtaining CDD information direct from clients and from a wide variety of public sources.
  • Has excellent attention to detail.
  • Has strong interpersonal and customer service skills, able to interact with people at all levels
  • Has excellent communication skills, able to give clear guidance on how to evidence potentially complicated fact patterns.
  • Has a strong ability to multi-task, prioritise workloads and work effectively in a team.

Salary and benefits

We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits. We value the health and wellbeing of our people and our wide range of initiatives and benefits support this.
