## Description

_**Envision Employment Solutions**_ _is currently looking for a_ _**Sanctions and Financial Crime Intelligence Manager**_ _for one of our partners, a leading Digital Bank!_

**THE ROLE**

One prohibited relationship, one missed match, and the bank is exposed in a way that's very hard to walk back. You own the framework that prevents that: the screening, the watch lists, the escalation calls on a potential match, and the team that runs it day to day. It's exacting work, and it has to be, because sanctions risk doesn't give second chances.

**WHAT YOU'LL DO**

-   Manage the Sanctions team, including work allocation, performance management, and staff development
-   Maintain the Sanctions & TFS Framework in line with applicable regulatory requirements
-   Oversee sanctions screening and related controls across relevant customers, transactions, and other applicable parties
-   Oversee the management and maintenance of applicable sanctions and watch lists, ensuring timely implementation of relevant updates
-   Oversee the effectiveness and performance of sanctions screening systems and related controls
-   Oversee the assessment and escalation of potential sanctions matches and related cases
-   Monitor sanctions risk exposure and the effectiveness of sanctions controls
-   Identify sanctions-related risks, emerging developments, and relevant typologies, ensuring appropriate consideration within the Financial Crime framework
-   Provide sanctions risk input to new products, services, and material changes
-   Maintain appropriate sanctions-related records, reporting, and regulatory correspondence
-   Escalate material sanctions risks in line with the approved escalation framework

**WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR**

-   7+ years of Financial Crime/AML experience, with significant experience in sanctions, TFS, and sanctions screening, including supervisory or management experience
-   Strong knowledge of sanctions risk management, sanctions screening, and sanctions screening systems
-   Knowledge of sanctions and watch-list management, including relevant regulatory and list-update requirements
-   Knowledge of CBE/EMLCU requirements, FATF standards, and relevant international sanctions regimes, including OFAC, EU, and UK sanctions
-   A relevant AML/Financial Crime or sanctions qualification is preferred

**YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU**

-   You'd rather escalate a borderline match than clear it to keep the queue moving
-   You treat a watch-list update as time-sensitive, not something that can wait until tomorrow
-   You can explain a sanctions decision clearly enough that a regulator never has to ask twice
-   You want to own the control that keeps the bank out of relationships it can never afford to be in
