You’ll join a tight-knit team of about 12, reporting to a Financial Crime Team Manager. While you’ll become a subject matter expert in Law Enforcement Operations, you won't be working in a silo. We work in ‘Pillars’ here, but collaboration is everything. We work closely with other pillars across FinCrime Operations such as AML, Business Banking, and Screening squads to get the full picture.
