About This Opportunity

Do you have an intellectual curiosity and a passion for preventing Economic Crime through the design, application, and utilization of appropriate controls to protect the bank and our customers?

As a Senior Manager in the Economic Crime Prevention (ECP) Strategy and Controls team, you will play a pivotal role in crafting and improving the Group’s control environment to prevent financial crime across Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Sanctions, Anti-Bribery (AB), and Fraud. You’ll lead a team of risk specialists to design, assess, and embed effective controls across client onboarding, transaction monitoring, and ongoing due diligence, while guiding strategic enhancements to the ECP framework and supporting senior manager accountability.

You will work closely with partners across our Business & Commercial / Corporate & Institutional Banking divisions and Group functions to ensure controls are aligned with regulatory expectations and tailored to business needs. Your remit includes horizon scanning, threat assessments, and developing risk reduction pathways that inform strategic investment decisions. Using data and insight, you’ll drive continuous improvement and foster a culture of proactive risk management and collaboration — helping protect the Group and its customers while supporting our purpose to Help Britain Prosper.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the design and implementation of risk-sensitive controls across AML, Sanctions, AB, and Fraud domains.
• Driving strategic enhancements to the ECP control framework, aligned with the Group’s North Star ECP Strategy.
• Supervising the governance and reporting of control effectiveness, including MI dashboards and committee escalations.
• Supporting the appointment and development of Accountable and Nominated Senior Managers (ASM/NSM), ensuring clarity of roles and responsibilities.
• Championing a culture of proactive risk management and continuous improvement, with a focus on colleague development and cross-functional collaboration.

What You'll Need

• Strong leadership and partner management skills, with experience guiding large teams through change.
• Deep technical knowledge across ECP subject areas, particularly AML, Sanctions, and Fraud.
• A strategic approach with the ability to translate complex risk landscapes into actionable control improvements.
• Proven ability to influence across business areas and regulatory interfaces, ensuring alignment and accountability.

We are highly collaborative and help all colleagues to become well-rounded risk professionals by developing a broad range of skills. You’ll assist colleagues in their development. As a subject matter expert, you’ll stay abreast of industry developments and regulation, sharing information across appropriate teams.
