  • Translate complex testing outcomes and thematic trends into clear, decision-useful reporting for executive leadership and governance forums.
  • Provide constructive challenge to stakeholders and track the root-cause remediation of control deficiencies.
  • Represent the FCC monitoring and testing function during regulatory examinations, internal or external audits, and banking partner reviews.

  • Strong technical knowledge of financial crime controls across transaction monitoring, sanctions/PEP screening, customer due diligence, and digital KYC/KYB workflows.
  • Proven mastery of risk-based testing methodologies, including scoping, sampling, design and operating effectiveness assessments, issue writing, and remediation validation.
  • A high-ownership, pragmatic approach.
  • Excellent written communication and stakeholder management skills to challenge senior partners constructively and drive operational accountability.
