Financial Crime Consultant

Coventry Building Society has an exciting opportunity for a Financial Crime Risk Consultant to join our Financial Crime Risk Management team. Working as a Financial Crime subject matter expert, the person in post will support the Society on a number of transformation projects and have a focus on onboarding.

Working on Financial Crime prevention strategies and sharing your knowledge to support business change, the person in post will monitor risk factors to the Society through effective analytics, root cause analysis and industry engagement. In addition, you will be our eyes and ears when it comes to Financial Crime intelligence and will be able to digest this information and take appropriate action to help with the wider fight against Financial Crime.

The Financial Crime Risk Consultant will identify attack vectors in an enterprise-wide context that are posing a Financial Crime risk to the business and will optimise our detection models to suit. Working autonomously within the industry, and internally with stakeholders, the Financial Crime Risk Consultant will act as a subject matter expert to make a material difference to the Society’s Financial Crime prevention and detection processes and systems.

Experienced in Financial Crime with practical application of working in a risk, advisory or investigative role, you’ll have excellent analytical skills and knowledge of Financial Crime techniques and processes to mitigate risk.

You’ll ideally have experience of working on fraud/Financial Crime projects and change initiatives as well as knowledge of onboarding systems and controls.

Naturally curious, you’ll have a keen eye for detail and have the ability to present your conclusions both verbally and in writing to a high standard. You’ll have the ability to make decisions based on fact and be able to adapt your approach in the moment.

You will be confident and able to persuade and motivate others through collaboration and at times, challenge the status–quo.  You will have an instinctive passion and commitment to help grow our anti–Financial Crime model and developing working relationships with colleagues will be a way of life for you.
