What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative team environment.

I am an enthusiastic Financial Crime Operations Officer with a strong commitment to learning and developing my skills. Currently, I work at Secure Trust Banking Group, where I manage projects and ensure compliance with FCA Conduct Rules. My role involves conducting Due Diligence, Screening, and Transaction Monitoring, where I have successfully trained new starters and maintained a high QA rate. My dedication to my work is evident through my willingness to clock in hundreds of hours of overtime to help meet departmental targets.

In addition to my current role, I have experience as a Company Director, where I managed a motor sales company. This experience honed my leadership and business planning skills, allowing me to effectively manage a team and ensure high levels of customer satisfaction. I have a proven track record of analyzing financial reports and adjusting business strategies to achieve profitability. My diverse background in both financial crime and business management equips me with a unique perspective in the corporate banking sector.
