About The Role

We're on the lookout for a people-first leader to take the reins of our AML Operations Detection team here at BOQ Group. This role is all about leading the charge on our AML/CTF operational obligations—think screening, triaging, and assessing alerts for sanctions risk, PEPs, adverse media, and third-party risk.

You'll also be overseeing the treatment of Unusual Activity Reports (UARs) and making sure we're ticking all the right boxes when it comes to our regulatory responsibilities. It's a role that blends hands-on operational oversight with strategic thinking, and you'll be the go-to for your team when it comes to guidance, support, and decision-making.

You'll be working closely with a wide range of internal teams—from Reporting and Fraud & Scams to Group Tech and Business Banking—as well as our external partners at AUSTRAC. You'll manage queues, monitor service levels, and make sure escalations are handled with care. You'll also be involved in workforce planning, quality control, and preparing insights for our risk committees. And of course, you'll be helping us stay ahead of the curve by keeping an eye on emerging AML/CTF trends and contributing to how we respond to them.

About You

You're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to lead with both heart and clarity. You've got solid experience in AML or investigations, and you're confident navigating the world of sanctions, PEPs, and regulatory reporting. A strong understanding of AML/CTF legislation and AUSTRAC requirements if important. If you've got industry accreditations like ACAMS or ICA, that's a big plus.

You're also a strong and steady leader, this is an absolute must —someone who brings out the best in others and knows how to keep a team motivated, even when things get busy. You lead with empathy, communicate with clarity, and know how to balance high standards with genuine care

You're a great communicator, a thoughtful decision-maker, and someone who genuinely cares about building a positive team culture. You know how to juggle competing priorities, stay calm under pressure, and bring a sense of purpose to everything you do. If this sounds like you and you are ready to make a difference, we would love to hear from you
