MLRO x 2 – Global Investment Management Firm (Jersey/Guernsey) recruitment
The Opportunity
Due to further growth, our client has a rare opportunity for two experienced Money Laundering Reporting Officers to join their Channel Islands operation. Reporting directly into the Head of Compliance for the Channel Islands, you’ll have full responsibility for ensuring procedures for the prevention of money laundering for all regulated license holders based on-site. The MLRO role itself is a broad one covering a variety of business areas (please call to discuss). In terms of regulatory obligations, you'll be handling the receipt of any suspicious activity reports from the relevant business areas, consideration of these reports, and where necessary, reporting to the Financial Intelligence Service. The role will entail providing advice, training and guidance to the business as well as maintaining relationships with the local authorities (the relevant Financial Services Commission), being the main point of contact for court orders and the like.
Your Profile
Ideally, the client would like to meet with experienced MLROs who have come from a banking, fiduciary, fund administration, or fund management background. Ideally, you will be well versed in the different areas of financial crime with the ability to quickly apply both technical and commercial thinking to any business issue. Strong interpersonal skills are a must for this role as you'll be dealing with senior executives from different areas of the business. Any previous experience of dealing with senior level management will stand you in good stead. Ideally you will have a strong academic profile along with a relevant compliance qualification.
