What's the role?

We're hiring a Senior Manager to lead governance and oversight of Westpac's transaction monitoring and regulatory reporting (TM&RR) processes, critical to preventing financial crime. 

Sitting within the first line of defence, you'll join our Financial Crime Surveillance team to make sure AML, KYC and sanctions controls are not just compliant, but work across the business.

  • Comfort with regulatory detail, including reporting rules and external stakeholder engagement.
  • Clear communication skills - able to explain complex issues to regulators, senior leaders, and frontline staff.
  • A mindset for continuous improvement, with ideas on how to automate, simplify, or reimagine how things get done.

Why join us?

We're obsessed with becoming our customers #1 banking partner for life and we're looking for people who are passionate about helping us achieve that goal. In return we're committed to making Westpac the best place to work in the country. Here are just a few of the ways we're already doing that:
