Manager, CDD Monitoring & Investigations

The CDD Monitoring & Investigations team plays a key role in protecting the firm from financial crime risks. As a Manager, you will lead a team responsible for reviewing automated sanctions, PEP and adverse media alerts, ensuring risks are accurately assessed, false positives are closed with clear rationale, and genuine concerns are escalated to Financial Crime Compliance or the High Risk Assessment Unit. You will oversee daily monitoring activity, identify changes in client risk profiles, and initiate trigger‑event refreshes where required. You will also manage open‑source checks, validate client information with service lines, and apply suspicion and knowledge tests in line with relevant legislation. As the firm adopts the new Fenergo Onboarding tool, you will help embed consistent investigation standards and ensure alerts and client data are handled effectively within the platform. The role includes responsibility for quality‑control activities and supporting a positive, high‑performing team environment. It requires strong analytical skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders across the business.
