Deputy MLRO

I'm currently working on behalf of a well-established UK bank to recruit a Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer (DMLRO) for its London-based Financial Crime team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Financial Crime professional to act as the deputy to the MLRO, providing second-line oversight across AML, sanctions, fraud, and wider financial crime compliance activities.

Key responsibilities will include:

\n

\n
• Managing internal suspicious activity reports and supporting SAR submissions
\n
• Oversight of CDD, EDD, high-risk customer reviews, PEP assessments and sanctions screening
\n
• Leading financial crime monitoring, quality assurance and thematic reviews
\n
• Producing MI and reporting for senior management and governance committees
\n
• Supporting regulatory engagement, audits and remediation activity
\n
• Delivering financial crime advice, training and subject matter expertise across the business
\n

The successful candidate will have:

\n
• Significant AML / Financial Crime Compliance experience within banking or financial services
\n
• Strong knowledge of AML, CTF, sanctions, CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring and SAR obligations
\n
• Experience engaging with senior stakeholders and regulatory requirements
\n
• Excellent investigative, analytical and report-writing skills
\n
• Previous experience as a Deputy MLRO, Financial Crime Manager or similar leadership role
\n

Desirable qualifications:

This role would suit someone looking to step into a broader DMLRO position with significant exposure to governance, regulatory engagement and strategic financial crime oversight.
