• Design and implement automated data quality checks to identify inconsistencies, discrepancies, or misalignments in critical data elements.

• Highlight anomalies or indicators of elevated risk requiring further investigation and/or local engagement.

• Review script outputs to verify that logic aligns with requirement documentation and meets defined risk objectives.

• Conduct detailed analysis and validation to ensure outcomes support the risk methodology.

End-to-End Process Ownership

• Own and oversee the entire lifecycle of data sourcing, transformation, automation, and output validation for sanctions risk assessment.

• Document, monitor, and enhance each stage of the process to ensure performance, resilience, and compliance.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the key point of contact for senior stakeholders in Risk, Compliance, Technology, Data Governance, and the Business.

• Communicate complex technical issues in a clear, structured way to non-technical audiences.

• Navigate and lead difficult conversations to resolve disagreements, clarify responsibilities, or address delivery gaps.

• Produce sanctions dashboard and management reporting on sanctions compliance program.

• Assist in audit, testing or regulatory exams related to sanctions.

• Assist in tracking and closing sanctions-related issues.

• Assess and review sanctions policies and procedures developed by global business units and/or local compliance teams; review and recommend amendments to the enterprise sanctions policy based on knowledge of the global sanctions environment.
