This is an important, highly technical role, supporting the firm’s client acceptance process and anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance framework.

You need too:

• Conduct AML screening and risk assessments (+ Conflicts screening post-training) at a high-quality level ensuring accuracy and sophisticated work product
• Provide support and feedback in Quality Control, supervision, and development of junior staff
• Manage and navigate key stakeholder needs, queries and service-level issues at Partner and fee-earner team level
• Attend & deliver relevant training internally as business needs demand.

About You

• Undergraduate diplomas in Law or other relevant disciplines are preferred. However, specific circumstances outside of this with transferable expertise/skills will be considered.
• Proven experience in a comparable commercial services firm or business model aligning with that of a global law firm, in an AML compliance type role. 
• There is also a preference for dual-skilled candidates as per standard model, i.e. those with prior experience dealing with legal Conflict of Interest checks in a similar function. However prior experience is not a strict requirement for consideration for the role, if candidate(s) demonstrates strong and relevant AML/KYC experience.

Not a perfect match? No problem. We value initiative, curiosity and people who bring energy and new perspectives to our mission. You may still be the ideal fit for this role – or another one.
