• Advising on cross cutting policy matters (including Country Risk) and identifying the synergies between all the FC disciplines

• Producing bespoke guidance or risk reports and briefing senior stakeholders on these as necessary

• Identifying areas for innovation using internal and external strategic engagement, providing advice to the Economic Crime Management Team as appropriate

What you’ll bring:

These are the essential requirements you need to be successful in this role:

• Proven experience of creating and advising on policy within Financial Services, Government, Civil Service or Regulators

• Working knowledge and understanding of regulatory framework of UK financial services including industry trends and best practice

• Broad understanding of the financial crime industry and the political and economic environment

• Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills with the ability to network effectively to influence management and external parties

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Meticulous attention to detail

• In depth understanding of Fraud regulations and policy

• Excellent analytical and interpretation skills

• Demonstrable experience of developing relations with senior internal and external stakeholders
