Financial Crime 🚀
The Financial Crime team consists of 62 people globally. They are responsible for ensuring that Capital on Tap meets its regulatory obligations in relation to all things AML and CTF.

What You’ll Be Doing 🗃️

• Monitor daily financial crime reports and processes - spotting data quality issues, process breaks, or unusual reporting trends.
• Build and maintain MI that reflects the true health of our first-line controls, providing these insights to the wider business and senior stakeholders, ensuring our reporting is the "single source of truth."
• Use SQL and Python to stay ahead of emerging AML trends and typologies; you’ll be the first to notice shifting patterns in suspicious activity and translate these into suggestions for control enhancements.
• Use historical data and predictive analytics to forecast volume spikes to ensure operational readiness.
• You will use data to help drive changes in how we report and monitor, ensuring our first-line processes remain agile, policy-aligned, and efficient.
• Act as a central point of contact for Senior Management, translating complex operational data into clear, risk-based proposals.

Our Values & Culture 🌞

• Just Pilot: We never settle for “good enough”. We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.
• Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.
• Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.
• Owners and Dates: We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.
• Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.

We’re Looking For 🔎

• Essential knowledge of Financial Crime and AML principles. You understand the regulatory landscape and can apply this context to your data analysis to ensure our controls remain effective.
• A proven ability to scrutinise operational data and detect subtle irregularities. You take a proactive approach to troubleshooting, digging into the "why" behind the numbers to resolve issues before they impact the function.
• Highly comfortable using SQL to interrogate databases and Python for deeper analysis.
• Proven experience in designing and maintaining reports that are accurate, reliable, and provide a clear view of performance.
