• Provide expert oversight and challenge in the assessment and launch of new markets and products, ensuring financial crime risks are proactively identified, assessed, and mitigated ahead of go-live.
• Identify systemic gaps and strategic opportunities to enhance AML/CTF controls, and drive remediation or optimisation initiatives in collaboration with 1LOD and Compliance counterparts.
• Act as a trusted advisor and central point of contact between 1LOD and 2LOD on all matters related to financial crime, fostering a strong risk culture and ensuring clear ownership of responsibilities.
• Escalate critical issues and emerging risks to senior stakeholders, actively contributing to governance discussions and supporting risk-based decision-making at the executive and board level.
• Conduct in-depth regulatory gap analyses across global markets Tide operates in, translating regulatory developments into tangible action plans and strategic recommendations.
• Partner closely with AML and Compliance teams across regions, sharing best practices, aligning on frameworks, and supporting the continuous evolution of Tide’s financial crime risk posture.

• Minimum 7 years of experience in financial crime roles within a regulated financial services firm (e.g., FCA, BaFin, CSSF, ACPR, or RBI-regulated entities)
• Strong track record in a 2LOD function
• Proven experience in conducting financial crime risk assessments
• Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with 1LOD stakeholders on risk exposure
• Strong understanding of key global financial crime risk indicators and metrics
