Group Anti Financial Crime Processes & Operations Tech Associate

Job Description

Within the Group Anti Financial Crime (GAFC) Function, we are looking for a talented and proactive resource to join the team. The position is within the Processes & Operations (P&O) unit, which drives the practical side of AFC, designing and implementing processes and tools that enable entities to apply AFC requirements and controls in a consistent and efficient way. We operate in a space where technology meets regulation, and we are looking for someone who can comfortably live in both worlds.

About the Role

This role offers a unique mix of regulatory understanding and practical technology work. You'll use your technical abilities to make a real impact on how a global Group operates.

The mission of the unit is to identify the most efficient way to translate regulatory requirements into processes and technologies, sometimes designing new frameworks from scratch, other times enhancing existing setups, and in some cases integrating advanced technologies on top. This requires a combination of analytical mindset, constructive criticism and creative thinking.

You’ll work across several AFC areas, such as screening, risk classification, suspicious activity reporting, controls, and data-driven monitoring. This is not a developer role but you’ll thrive here if you enjoy using tools like Excel macros, Python basics, Power BI or simple automations to make processes smarter, faster, and more efficient.

Being a part of a truly international environment, your work will combine process ownership, operational controls, technology support, data analysis and coordination with multiple teams.

You will join a dynamic unit composed of young professionals with diverse backgrounds, mindsets, and skills. Together, this blend of perspectives creates an enriched view, enabling the team to deliver ideas and results quickly, in an organized and constructive way.
