  • Assess the risks associated with the use of models, identifying weaknesses and recommending improvements.
  • Develop controls and testing strategies to ensure model outputs align with AML and sanctions compliance objectives.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree or relevant industry experience in a quantitative field such as Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Economics.
  • 10+ years of experience in model risk management, financial crime compliance, or a related field, with a focus on AML and sanctions, with at least 5+ years of experience in a direct people management role.
  • Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry standards related to AML, sanctions, and financial crime compliance.
