What I'm looking for

I seek a senior AML/compliance role where I can lead AML operations, drive process automation, manage remediation projects, and mentor teams within a regulatory-focused, collaborative environment.

I am an AML/Money Laundering Reporting Officer with six years' experience in regulatory compliance, sanctions screening, customer due diligence and financial crime prevention across EU, UK and offshore jurisdictions.

I have designed and implemented AML/KYC frameworks and end-to-end remediation processes that improved data accuracy and response times, and I have led remediation and exit reviews to meet AMLD and national regulator standards.

I build and manage teams — recruiting, onboarding and training — and I have delivered targeted AML/CTF training to over 2,000 sales and internal staff while managing SAR reporting and regulatory relationships.

My technical strengths include process automation (VBA, advanced Excel), screening tools (World-Check, ComplyAdvantage, LexisNexis), transaction monitoring and mapping workflows using MS Visio and Lucidchart, and I consistently meet performance KPIs in high-volume environments.
