Banking Circle is a truly international and vibrant company with more than 550 skilled and dedicated employees worldwide. We provide the stability of a Bank and the flexibility of a Fintech, delivering a payments solution to our clients as we continue transforming the Banking and Payments industry for the new economy.

About the role
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated FinCrime professional to lead our Transaction Monitoring and Investigation function, currently split between Copenhagen and London. You will report to the Head of Business AML & UK MLRO and work out of our London or Copenhagen office.

In this role, you will enhance our Transaction Monitoring model, collaborating globally with key stakeholders across Business AML, Advanced Analytics, and Compliance in various jurisdictions. You will drive the function’s business strategy and objectives, lead a high-performance culture within the teams, and encourage a strong compliance culture across Transaction Monitoring and Investigations.

What you will be doing

  • Enhance the Bank’s TM approach towards different products and solutions, including 3rd party customer risk.
  • Work on the global rollout of Banking Circle’s TM programme, including review of respective outsourcing agreements with key stakeholders.
  • Lead internal and external audit reviews and regulatory reviews as appropriate.
  • Deliver a best-in-class approach to Transaction Monitoring utilizing experience, expertise, and technology.
  • Demonstrate in-depth, SME knowledge of the standards and regulations that impact our business, aligning processes across the function.
  • Deliver, support, and embed relevant training for all colleagues across the function.
  • Empower Team Leads to manage day-to-day operations, encouraging an excellent performance management environment.

What we are looking for
To be the right candidate for this position, we expect you to have extensive experience in a similar role, gaining expertise within Transaction Monitoring and Investigations in both leadership and operational capacities. You have experience in designing and delivering centres of excellence within FinCrime teams and possess in-depth working knowledge of FinCrime policies and regulations, specifically within the correspondent banking and/or payments industry.

You have proven management experience of Transaction Monitoring and Investigations teams and can execute your strategic agenda within a matrix environment. You can manage regulatory technology to enhance processes and possess sound knowledge of regulation and legislation impacting PSPs, Banks, and NBFIs globally.

As a person, you are results-driven while maintaining professionalism, integrity, and respect. You have strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills, and you are a natural motivator who thrives in growing and developing your teams.

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

What we offer you
We offer a hybrid work model for our employees to allow for flexibility and productivity. However, we 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, a generous benefits package, opportunities for continuous learning, development, and a dynamic and collaborative culture that values personal initiative and professional achievements.

Would you like to join us?
We will be conducting interviews continuously; therefore, we urge interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible. Please note that applications or CVs coming through email or direct messages will not be accepted or considered.
