Our client, an industry-leading financial services consultancy, has engaged us on an onboarding / KYC project team build for one of their insurance clients.

We're seeking an interim Programme Director / Manager to lead a client onboarding initiative, starting immediately with an initial 4-month scope, followed by an implementation phase. You will oversee the full lifecycle of client onboarding, streamlining processes across a distributed organization, with a focus on KYC: AML, CTF, APF, and ESG.

• Monitoring financial crime, regulatory, and ESG risks, supporting transparency and stakeholder expectations.
• Aligning with enterprise-wide risk policies and control frameworks.
• Utilizing existing resources and technologies for efficiency and scalability.

You will scope, plan, lead, manage, and report on the project, supported by two Workstream Leads (current and future state) and five onboarding SMEs/BAs, each focusing on specific areas.
