• Review and challenge analysts' work where required, particularly on complex or higher‑risk clients.
• Ensure analysts understand the scope and requirements of each remediation exercise.
• Ensure client files are complete, accurate and appropriately evidenced before being submitted for formal review.
• Identify recurring quality issues and implement corrective actions.
• Support the team in resolving complex KYC issues, documentation gaps and data discrepancies.
• Ensure remediation activity is conducted in accordance with relevant AML/KYC policies, procedures and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain a strong focus on risk‑based decision‑making and appropriate escalation.

Fenergo

• Use Fenergo extensively to manage and monitor the remediation workflow.
• Ensure team members are following the appropriate Fenergo processes and maintaining accurate client records.
• Monitor workflow, case status and outstanding actions within Fenergo.
• Identify system/process issues that may impact delivery and escalate where appropriate.

Quality Assurance & Controls

• Establish a strong first‑line quality control mindset within the team.
• Ensure files are fully completed and internally checked before being submitted to the formal review/QA team.
• Monitor quality trends and identify common errors, omissions and recurring weaknesses.
• Provide targeted feedback and coaching to analysts based on quality findings.
• Work closely with the QA/Review team to understand feedback and prevent repeat issues.
• Maintain appropriate documentation and audit trails throughout the remediation process.
• Ensure that quality is not compromised in order to meet delivery targets.

Stakeholder Management & Reporting

• Provide regular updates to management on remediation progress, risks, blockers and delivery against plan.
• Escalate material issues promptly, with clear recommendations and proposed actions.
• Work closely with AML/KYC SMEs, QA/Review teams, Operations, Compliance and other relevant stakeholders.
• Produce and maintain accurate MI covering volumes, completion rates, ageing, quality and productivity.
