Client Information Management AML/KYC Associate Director

An exciting opportunity to join Cambridge Associates (CA) as an AML/KYC Associate Director within the Client Information Management (CIM) team in Global Portfolio Services (GPS). GPS serves as CA’s middle office, providing centralized expertise and support in all areas of client and portfolio implementation management as well as investment platform strategy and oversight. GPS supports institutions and wealth owners through every stage of the client lifecycle and serves as a bridge between our investment teams and our execution, data, and reporting colleagues.

The CIM team is responsible for the Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and controls at Cambridge Associates. CIM conducts AML/KYC reviews at onboarding and at regular intervals throughout the lifecycle of a client to ensure that data and supporting documentation is complete and current and meets all necessary regulatory and business requirements. In addition, CIM serves as a resource and escalation point, interfacing with various operational teams and management as well as external clients, fund managers, administrators, and other service providers to proactively support the ongoing AML/KYC needs of the business.

This role requires a combination of willingness and ability to take a hands-on approach to driving the implementation of the firm’s AML/KYC efforts, and as a member of CIM, the AML/KYC Associate Director will be essential to leading CA’s efforts to undertake robust and efficient AML/KYC processes and controls.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conducting and approving AML/KYC reviews on new and existing clients, based on regulatory requirements and business needs, in alignment with CA policies and procedures and in support of key business processes during onboarding and transaction execution.
• Proactively assisting with enhancements to the client data collection and maintenance processes and controls.
• Collaborating with CA Compliance to ensure evolving regulatory requirements are effectively implemented within CA’s operating environment.
• Leveraging skills and experience to serve as a subject matter expert and escalation point, providing training and knowledge sharing with more junior CIM team members as well as internal and external stakeholders.
• Taking on additional duties, as necessary, to meet business requirements.

Qualifications:

• Demonstrable experience performing AML/KYC reviews of complex ownership structures from jurisdictions across the globe to meet FCA regulatory requirements as well as the requirements of jurisdictions favored by offshore investment fund service providers.
• ACAMS or ICA Certification or equivalent preferred.
• Demonstrable career progression.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Organized, decisive, results driven, and able to prioritise workload and manage multiple tasks while meeting deadlines.
• Able to work independently and collaboratively across all levels of an organisation.
• Flexible and willing to take on challenges created by new situations, processes, and technology.
