Role overview Complex merchants can create complex financial crime risks. Their corporate structures, operating models and control environments may span entities, jurisdictions and teams. When concerns emerge, effective action depends on more than identifying the issue: someone must bring the right people together, agree a credible response, and keep remediation moving until it is complete. As Financial Crime Oversight & Remediation Manager, you will provide that ownership. You will coordinate targeted oversight of higher-risk or strategically important merchant relationships, helping turn concerns into clear, proportionate and evidenced plans. You will work across Compliance, Financial Crime Investigations, onboarding, commercial and operational teams, and, where appropriate, directly with merchants. Your judgement will matter: you will need to know when a proposed control or remediation is credible, when evidence is insufficient, and when an issue needs escalation.

Help define the oversight plan, review progress and ensure concerns do not remain unresolved or without an owner. • Assess remediation quality. Review proposed actions and evidence against the underlying financial crime concern and relevant regulatory expectations. Identify whether controls appear appropriately designed and operating, whether further evidence or testing is needed, a
