You'll deliver specialist training interventions and ensure new processes, controls and technologies are effectively adopted.

The successful candidate will bring strong Financial Crime knowledge, particularly across Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Transaction Monitoring (TM), Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processes, alongside the ability to engage, coach and support operational colleagues through change.

  Demonstrable experience designing and delivering training, coaching or capability activity that builds colleague knowledge, confidence and competence.

• Operational readiness & implementation
  Strong experience supporting operational readiness and implementation, preparing colleagues, processes and teams to successfully adopt change.

• Financial Crime knowledge

• Change support & collaboration
  Experience supporting colleagues through change, building positive relationships across operational, change and stakeholder teams.

• Planning & continuous improvement
  Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with experience balancing priorities and identifying opportunities to improve colleague and operational outcomes.

And any experience of these would be really useful:

  Experience supporting business readiness, operational change, migration, transition or insourcing programmes.

• Learning design & capability
  Experience designing learning solutions, training pathways, capability frameworks or colleague accreditation programmes.

• Technology-enabled implementation

• Broader Financial Crime expertise
  Experience or knowledge across Financial Crime areas such as Transaction Monitoring, Investigations, Customer Risk Assessment, Sanctions, Screening, SARs or Quality Assurance.

• Learning & change qualifications
  Relevant professional development or qualifications in Learning & Development, Train-the-Trainer, Business Readiness or Change Management.
