1 month ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Clayton UTZ Full time

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Compliance Manager to join our Risk team, with the flexibility to be based in any of our national offices.

The Compliance Manager will be responsible for overseeing and monitoring the firm's compliance with Anti-money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) obligations in Australia.

In an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, law firms face significant scrutiny regarding their compliance with AML and CTF obligations. The Compliance Manager will play a critical role in ensuring that the firm adheres to the stringent requirements outlined by regulatory bodies such as AUSTRAC and mitigating legal risks associated with non-compliance.

Key Responsibilities

The Compliance Manager will:

  • Oversee and monitor the firm's compliance with its AML/CTF obligations;
  • Design, develop, and implement the firm's AML/CTF program and maintain overall responsibility for the operation of the program;
  • Establish and implement protocols for risk assessment and reporting suspicious activities;
  • Follow and maintain knowledge of regulatory trends and changes to ensure the firm operates within legal regulatory frameworks;
  • Communicate and provide guidance to the business on changes and policies regarding upcoming regulatory changes;
  • Communicate and report on behalf of the firm to AUSTRAC;
  • Provide regular training and updates to technical and non-technical stakeholders across the Firm;
  • Support the Head of Risk with wider compliance projects and initiatives as required from time-to-time.

Key Skills and Experience

To be successful in this role, the ideal candidate will have:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Law, Business, Finance, or a related field;
  • 3-5 years' experience in an AML compliance role, ideally within a legal or financial services environment;
  • Experience drafting policies and procedures, with exceptional attention to detail;
  • Experience reporting at senior management or board level;
  • Experience with conflicts management is preferred but not essential;
  • Ability to communicate and liaise with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, and effectively manage expectations;
  • Flexible and adaptable, with the ability to prioritise competing tasks and deadlines;
  • Strong business acumen with the capability to influence and drive change.
