You'll own the analytical backbone of our transaction monitoring systems, and actively build the broader data strategy work within Compliance - whether through liaising with a team of data scientists or through influencing Product teams working upstream to us.

- Help shape the agentic monitoring function - from orchestration design to implementation - as we expand automation across our AML/CFT monitoring flows.
- Act as the technical liaison with data scientists for ML driven detection: gather and document requirements, challenge and validate models delivered, and ensure outputs are usable for compliance decision-making.
- Own regulatory reporting for AML/CFT transaction monitoring, ensuring the underlying data is accurate, complete, and traceable - proactively ident
