The opportunity

We’re currently growing our Financial Crime, Risk Consulting practice to meet increasing demand for our services. Our market abuse and surveillance team within the Financial Crime practice is experiencing increasing demand from our clients and is looking for experienced professionals to join our team.

Market integrity is key to a well-functioning capital markets economy, enabling growth for businesses and investors.

At EY, we support our clients to maintain market integrity through identifying, preventing, and managing market abuse risks. Our team is at the forefront of global approaches to surveillance across markets through the review, implementation, and operation of trade, order, and communications monitoring.

Your key responsibilities

• Provide input into the development of innovative solutions to address complex financial crime risks and issues, helping our clients meet global regulatory expectations.
• Take responsibility for engagement planning, management, and leading teams in various financial crime engagements.
• Support bids and proposals for new client opportunities and grow existing relationships with insights and thought leadership.
• Mentor staff and provide performance feedback for team members.

Technical skills and attributes for success

• A clear understanding of the strategic implications of financial crime and conduct regulation.
• The ability to articulate the impact of AML/CTF and market abuse regulations on firms and effectively implement various regulatory directives.
• Understanding complex regulation and industry guidance and formulating appropriate points of view.
• A background in change or transformational projects.

Non-technical skills and attributes for success

• Stakeholder management experience, including working with diverse stakeholders and effective communication at all levels.
• Project and people management skills, including project governance, risk management, and team motivation.
• Leadership skills, including guiding and motivating others, and decision-making that balances stakeholder needs.
• Personal development skills, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative working across departments and cultures.

To qualify for the role you must have

• Solid conduct compliance experience in 1LOD or 2LOD at a regulated financial institution or related consulting practice.
• Experience in compliance or conduct in-house functions within financial services.
• Experience executing Market Abuse Risk Assessments and designing surveillance controls.
• Knowledge of regulatory guidance across UK, Europe, US, and other regions.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience leading teams and managing projects in financial crime engagements.
• Enthusiasm for business and practice development within financial crime.
• Flexibility to travel and work full-time on assignments as necessary.

Ideally, you'll also have

• A background in financial crime advisory or operational roles within financial services or consulting.
• Experience working with law enforcement or regulatory bodies.
• Experience in delivering change programmes or process/technology improvements.
• A strong academic background, ideally degree-level or equivalent.
• Experience in risk assessment and control development for money laundering ('MLTM').

What we are looking for

You’ll be a trusted business advisor, experienced in regulatory matters, with a strong background in financial crime and change projects. You enjoy working collaboratively and are keen to stay at the forefront of market practices.

You are inquisitive, innovative, and resilient, ready to persevere through challenges to find opportunities.
