You will support the resolution of complex financial crime queries and escalations, working closely with Compliance Advisory teams to ensure informed decision-making and adherence to regulatory and internal policy requirements.

This is a leadership role that combines people management, operational excellence, stakeholder engagement, and deep financial crime expertise to safeguard the business while enabling commercial activities.

• Support EDD Analysts in preparing submissions for the High-Risk Counterparty Committee (HRCC) and High-Risk Approval Forum (HRAF), facilitating effective review and decision-making by senior management.
• Provide guidance on exceptions to financial crime policies, standards, and procedures, ensuring risks are clearly articulated and appropriately managed.
• Partner with the T&S Compliance Training Team to design, develop, and deliver financial crime training and awareness initiatives for the global T&S Compliance function and wider business.
• Drive capability building across the Global EDD team through coaching, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and the development of technical and professional competencies.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance due diligence processes, controls, and operational effectiveness.

What you bring

• Extensive experience managing KYC, CDD, and/or EDD teams within a financial crime compliance environment.
• Degree-qualified, with AML, Financial Crime, or Compliance certifications considered an advantage.
• Strong knowledge of global financial crime regulations and compliance requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to apply a risk-based approach to EDD reviews, including cases involving PEPs, high-risk jurisdictions, sanctions exposure, and other elevated-risk counterparties.
• Knowledge of global energy markets (Oil, Gas, Power, and Carbon) and financial markets is desirable.
• Strong people leadership skills, with the ability to motivate, coach, and develop high-performing teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to influence stakeholders and build effective relationships across all levels of the organization.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking capabilities, with the ability to assess complex information, identify risks, and provide clear, practical recommendations.
