Responsibilities

• Deep practical expertise in conducting complex financial crime investigations and knowledge of key fraud typologies, such as APP scams, social engineering, and investment scams.


• Ability to analyse and synthesise complex information and distill into readily comprehensible and practical advice relevant to the commercial, strategic and financial context, applying a risk-based approach to development of management information insights, business solutions and decision-making.


• Demonstrate a creative and innovative approach by finding different ways to look at problems and design novel solutions.


• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.


• Autonomous, pro-active and hands-on with the ability to prioritise and manage own work effectively.


• Used to working in a diverse, international, fast-moving business and fast evolving regulatory environment.
