Edinburgh, United Kingdom NatWest Group Full time

Our people work differently depending on their jobs and needs. From hybrid working to flexible hours, we have plenty of options that help our people to thrive.

This role is based in the United Kingdom and as such all normal working days must be carried out in the United Kingdom.

Join us as a Financial Crime Lead
- It’s all of our colleagues’ job to detect and prevent financial crime, which’s why you’ll be overseeing the development and implementation of risk and control mechanisms for our bank
- Day-to-day, you’ll be helping us with our responsibilities by independently overseeing and challenging the effective management of risks and controls within agreed risk appetites
- Every day, you’ll have the chance to make a difference as you support us in reducing financial crime and, in turn, know that your work is playing an integral part in protecting our bank

**What you’ll do**:
In this role, you’ll be responsible for leading the financial crime agenda, making sure that our business strategy complies with financial crime policies, laws and regulations to prevent money laundering, breaches of sanctions, terrorism financing, bribery and corruption within the franchises.

To do this, you’ll develop operational objectives for the team and articulate these in the team plan, while making sure that they’re supported by specific actions and timeframes for delivery and implementation. You’ll also coach and mentor colleagues and less experienced managers.

Your top priorities will include:

- Building relationships within our business and delivering advice on transactions, customers or situations that involve financial crime matters
- Making sure that our business addresses financial crime risk concerns within the management of the customer, geographic and product portfolio lifecycle before remediating known risks
- Ensuring that stable and effective structures are in place within the Financial Crime team with the appropriate forums, MI and escalation routes
- Advocating for the simplification of processes and procedures and establishing and documenting operating procedures, including relevant controls to meet policy requirements

**The skills you’ll need**:
To be successful in this role, you’ll need a deep understanding of the financial services industry, risk management principles and regulatory frameworks. Additionally, you’ll need technical expertise and knowledge of relevant political and legislative developments across the financial industry.

Furthermore, you’ll need:

- The ability to influence business representatives and deliver oversight activities as indelible evidence to regulators that conduct risks have been identified within target processes
- Experience of diverse and multi-jurisdictional functions and knowledge of the regulatory environment and divisional frameworks and methodologies
- Working knowledge of broader risk disciplines and the ability to challenge how we do things to continually improve the customer experience and lead fundamental change
- Good networking and collaboration skills and experience of developing high-performing teams through coaching and mentoring
