What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values compliance and customer satisfaction, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Investigator with extensive experience in the financial services sector, particularly regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). My proven track record includes analyzing complex cases, resolving customer complaints, and implementing effective solutions that enhance client satisfaction. I am committed to delivering high-quality service and ensuring transparent and equitable resolutions for all parties involved.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Complaints Investigator at SJP Investment Banking and Lloyds Banking Group, where I specialized in pensions and investments. My responsibilities included conducting thorough investigations, maintaining compliance with industry regulations, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive process improvements. I have consistently achieved quality and productivity targets while preparing insightful reports for senior management, highlighting trends and suggesting enhancements to client satisfaction.

As a Financial Crime Analyst at Santander, I utilized advanced tools to monitor high-risk transactions, significantly improving the detection of potential money laundering and fraud activities. My analytical skills have allowed me to assess risks effectively and contribute to a sustained high compliance rating. I am passionate about fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement within teams, ensuring that best practices are upheld across all operations.
