Our Financial Crime Advisory team helps organisations assess, strengthen and transform their financial crime frameworks, systems and controls, combining technical expertise, commercial insight and practical, risk-based advice to help clients respond to regulatory and financial crime challenges. This role offers the opportunity to lead engagements across areas including anti-money laundering, sanctions, fraud, anti-bribery and corruption, working closely with senior client stakeholders, compliance and risk leaders, boards and executive management.
As an Associate Director in our Financial Crime Advisory team, you will take overall responsibility for managing a portfolio of engagements from inception through to delivery, building trusted client relationships, delivering high-quality outputs and supporting the development of junior team members. You will also play a key role in proposition development, business development and market engagement, helping shape our financial crime advisory offering and contributing to the future growth of this expanding area of the practice.

Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:
Significant experience in financial crime prevention or advisory work, including anti-money laundering, sanctions, fraud, anti-bribery and corruption matters
Strong technical knowledge of the regulatory environment, with experience delivering framework reviews, designing and implementing risk and control frameworks and supporting change or remediation programmes
Experience working across sectors such as banking, insurance, asset or wealth management, payments or crypto, with the ability to tailor advice to different client environments
Strong analytical, problem-solving and written communication skills, with the ability to review complex information, exercise sound judgement and produce clear, high-quality reports and recommendations
A proactive, client-focused approach, with confidence presenting to senior stakeholders, managing multiple priorities, developing junior colleagues and identifying business development opportunities
