Context This role supports the Group Corporate Compliance function, acting as second line of defence, with its primary focus on the financial crime topic set: anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT), know-your-customer and customer due diligence (KYC/CDD), fraud, and sanctions. The role also carries a lighter, secondary involvement in ethics and conduct topics — anti-bribery and corruption, gifts and entertainment, and conflicts of interest — where capacity allows and in support of colleagues who own that area. Financial crime remains the core of the role at all times; ethics and conduct work is additive, not a parallel full workload. The role works in coordination with local compliance officers where applicable, under the Group's allocation of responsibilities, with the Group Corporate Compliance function retaining final decision authority on all in-scope topics.
