Overall job purpose
As a key member of the national Risk and Compliance team, you would provide policy direction, guidance, and day-to-day operational support to service line teams as they evaluate client and engagement take-on and due diligence.
This is our prospective client’s first interaction with RSM’s systems and processes, so it is essential that we are efficient and effective in delivering this key risk mitigation step, whilst also providing a premium experience.
If you have a keen eye for detail, enjoy providing excellent customer service, and building relationships across a large and diverse organisation, then this role could be a good fit.
We operate a flexible hybrid-working model in the team, focusing on being where we can most effectively provide support to the service lines, which can occasionally involve travel to UK-based offices to deliver training.
Key Responsibilities
- Draft and update AML policies, procedures, training and communications relating to money laundering, terrorist and proliferation financing, and sanctions.
- Monitor changes to legislation, regulation and guidance, assessing the impact on RSM UK and recommending appropriate updates and timelines.
- Identify and recommend improvements to client onboarding processes and systems, including Citadel and its integrated systems.
- Refresh firmwide risk assessments and review Enhanced Due Diligence cases to ensure they meet RSM UK AML policies and quality standards.
- Provide guidance on complex AML queries, supporting client teams with onboarding and the ongoing review of services.
- Lead monthly AML quality and systems reviews, identify training and development needs, report findings, and manage up to five members of the Anti-Money Laundering team.
Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!
We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:
We are looking for someone who has:
- Excellent communication skills, specifically capable of being clear, concise, and precise
- Experience interpreting legislation and guidance to produce practical and effective policies and procedures, particularly having included CDD and AML policy and procedures in a similarly regulated environment
- Experience of managing people would be of benefit, but not essential, as training would be provided where necessary
- A strong ‘moral compass’
- A desire to provide world-class customer service
- A keen eye for detail, but is also able to stand back and consider the specific context and circumstances of a case
What we can offer you:
Within RSM, we promote from within wherever possible, listen to your career goals and aspirations, and support you in your short- and long-term goals.
We offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.
- Hybrid and flexible working
- 27 days holiday (with the option of purchasing additional days)
- Lifestyle, health, and wellbeing including financial wellbeing benefits such as financial tools, electric car scheme and access to a virtual GP
- Access to a suite of 300+ courses on demand developed by our inhouse talent development team
