You’ll be doing this at a recently public company aiming for money without borders.
• You’ll work on evolving the Screening Control Team which includes our Sanction Sanctions, PEP and Adverse Media systems and processes, contributing significantly to our mission to make screening invisible for good actors, fulfil regulatory expectations and minimise unnecessary costs.
