As a (senior) Consultant Financial Crime, you will be part of our Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) practice and work as a trusted advisor for our clients in various areas of Financial Crime, such as Anti Money Laundering (AML), Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC), and Transaction Monitoring (TM). You help solve problems and challenges faced by financial institutions and society as a result of these crimes.

Our Challenge

In this role as a Consultant Financial Crime, you have the opportunity to work in the financial sector. Our CLM practice specializes in solutions for clients in banking, asset management, insurance, and pensions. Projects typically include analyzing the impact of regulations on customer onboarding, evaluation of that onboarding policy, and risk analysis procedures of entities and/or clients. You will also be involved in the optimization of customer data, strategic assessments, and rationalization of customer portfolios, selection and implementation of KYC Utility suppliers, and Operating Model evaluations and definitions.

As a Consultant, you will also contribute to the further development and expansion of the Client Lifecycle Management practice. This includes publishing substantive articles, developing propositions, and sharing your knowledge with other colleagues during one of the many organized knowledge sessions. You are also involved in creating a (long-term) vision and new business opportunities with existing and new clients. Not only in the Netherlands but also in the UK, US, and Dubai or other Synechron locations.

We are looking ahead and would like to develop innovative solutions for the challenges of tomorrow. Especially in the field of Transaction Monitoring, we see the necessary developments. Rule-driven approaches are no longer sufficient. Machine Learning is becoming increasingly important to complement or even replace existing models. We want to use our existing strong Data Science knowledge and expertise to focus on Transaction Monitoring.

• A person with 4+ years of experience as a consultant in Financial Services, with experience and affinity with Financial Crime and Transaction Monitoring in particular
