- Develop and implement a robust Risk management framework in relation to Financial Crime risks and accountable for the implementation of policy for AML, Sanctions and Fraud to meet the requirements and legislation of the local market.
- Lead, motivate and develop an effective team, driving the people agenda ensuring succession planning and essential training to deliver consistent performance, cultivating an environment that supports diversity and reflects the banks’ values.
- Staying up-to-date of key regulatory changes across all FC risks to ensure proactive engagement with internal and external stakeholders and implementation as necessary.
- Provide thought leadership and representation of HSBC views in FC industry forums, public-private partnerships and key regulatory change consultations.
- Oversee the advice provided by the Financial Crime Risk Stewardship function, including the Centre of Excellence, to ensure a clear understanding of Financial Crime risk exposure with respect to clients, transactions and products, and accurate and timely advice.
- Develop and maintain strong positive and professional working relationships with all stakeholders including senior business managers, colleagues within and outside region and regulators.
- Establish a strategy for the sharing of Financial Crime risk-related compliance knowledge and best practice across Australia and New Zealand and the wider Compliance Function and Group.
Requirements

- Qualification in risk or compliance or professional experience within risk or audit. A certification from International Compliance Association (ICA) or Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (ACAMS) is well regarded.
- Understanding and significant experience in the Australian landscape in regards to key regulatory change initiatives and their impacts on businesses, and knowledge of FC inherent risks associated with businesses and products.
- Seasoned leadership experience, with a successful track record of creating, leading, coaching and motivating a high performance team.
