Compliance Officer - Anti-Money Laundering

Swiss Re is offering an exciting opportunity for a candidate who will embrace the challenge of supporting the business to achieve their goals whilst controlling our exposure to Money Laundering risks. If you're ready to show your leadership skills, collaborate across the company and deep-dive on technical topics when the moment requires, you will thrive in this role!

About the Role

You will apply a proven knowledge of relevant rules, regulations and codes of conduct relating to the prevention of Money Laundering to develop a corresponding Risk Framework, lead the continuous improvement of relevant policies and solutions and support the delivery of training and awareness activities across the organisation.

Specifically, you will:
• Fully own, maintain and continuously improve a Global AML Risk Framework, together with other assigned Risk Frameworks to ensure they remain robust and adequate.
• Develop pragmatic solutions in the application of Global Standards to diverse product lines, jurisdictions and local legal and/or regulatory requirements.
• Monitor related legal and regulatory developments from relevant bodies in those jurisdictions where Swiss Re operates, coordinating responses when new or changing requirements are identified to ensure the risk is addressed.
• Support the further development of Anti-Money Laundering knowledge across Swiss Re and within the Compliance teams by preparing and delivering training and awareness materials.
• Work with Compliance colleagues to review key business processes and associated controls.
