Would you like to work for an ambitious, international, and fast-growing consultancy firm? We are looking for a Consultant Financial Crime for our office in Amsterdam!

About Synechron:

At Synechron, we believe in the power of digital technology to change businesses for the better. Our global consulting firm combines creativity and innovative technology to deliver leading digital solutions. Synechron's progressive technologies and optimization strategies include end-to-end Consulting, Design, Cloud, Data, and Engineering and provide services to a range of reputable financial service providers and technology companies worldwide. Through research and development initiatives in our FinLabs, we develop solutions for modernization, from Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence to Data Science models, Digital Underwriting, mobile-first applications, and more. In the past 20+ years, our company has won multiple awards for good employment practices. Synechron has 14,500+ employees worldwide and more than 44 offices in over 20 countries.

As a 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.
