• Auditing and Monitoring: Deliver risk-based auditing and monitoring activities, apply sound judgement and data-led analysis to selected transactions, identify root causes and emerging trends, and recommend proportionate corrective and preventive actions.

• Training and Communications: Create and deliver engaging, practical compliance training and communications for employees and third parties, including train-the-trainer sessions where appropriate, and assess whether learning is translating into changed behaviour.

• Systems, Data and AI Enablement: Support and continuously improve global Legal and Compliance systems, including user support, training and system maintenance. Use analytics, automation and approved AI tools to monitor adoption, identify potential non-compliance, improve workflow efficiency and generate actionable insights, while maintaining appropriate human oversight and protecting confidential information.

Who you are:
