- **Dynamic Work**: No two cases are the same, offering you a stimulating and varied work experience.
- **Supportive Culture**: Access to resources and guidance from a supportive team.

You'll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for over 200 years. Our purpose is to create better futures together. So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grow your career, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure. Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.

**What do I need?**
- Experience within banking or financial services.
- You will bring previous experience within Financial Crime.
- Investigative mindset and strong analytical skills.
- Critical thinking and the ability to interpret information and make decisions.
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own case load.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Computer literacy with ability to work with multiple systems with ease.
