• Advise clients on applicable laws, regulations, regulatory reporting obligations, and emerging regulatory developments.
• Act as a key point of contact for compliance-related queries within the Client Compliance Services team.
• Maintain client PEP registers, authorise PEP transaction clearances, and complete associated regulatory reporting.
• Deliver transaction monitoring, quality control, quality assurance, and associated reporting for client entities.
• Conduct and sign off monthly outsourcing oversight and QC testing of offshore locations providing AML services to clients.
• Support the development and implementation of client compliance programmes, policies, procedures, and compliance manuals.
• Identify, measure, and document compliance risks to support client compliance risk assessments.
• Guide clients in developing policies and procedures that mitigate identified compliance risks.
• Liaise with regulators, internal stakeholders, and external auditors on client-related regulatory matters.
• Operate independently while acting as a subject matter expert on regulatory compliance.
• Mentor junior colleagues and review the quality of work produced by others.

The ideal candidate will have several years' experience in compliance or risk management, with in-depth knowledge of Guernsey regulatory requirements and GFSC AML legislation. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential, alongside the ability to advise client boards and senior management in a clear, practical, and confident manner. Experience providing outsourced MLRO / MLCO services or working in a client-facing compliance advisory capacity is highly desirable.
