Acting as a trusted advisor to a portfolio of clients, you'll serve as the Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (AMLCO) and the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) or Deput MLRO (DMLRO) and will be accountable for AMLCO service operations and service standards while helping clients navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Beyond compliance oversight, you'll build strong client relationships, contribute to business growth and help shape the future of our AML compliance offering.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with sophisticated clients and make a visible impact on both client outcomes and business success.

• Oversee and test AML/KYC procedures at the client entity level, including adequate policies, KYC documentation, and training programs.
• Prepare and present the annual and interim AMLCO Reports at board meetings.
• Act as the client relationship manager for client entities, and as the primary point of contact for relevant authorities.
• Act as the primary liaison with the Cayman Islands Financial Reporting Authority (FRA) in connection with suspicious activity reporting obligations, maintain logs of SAR filings, provide training, and AML audits and oversee record-keeping systems that meet both internal policy standards and relevant regulatory requirements.

Team Leadership

• Lead and support - providing guidance, mentorship and technical expertise that promotes excellence in client service and compliance delivery.
• Foster a collaborative and inclusive culture that encourages professional development, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
• Drive high standards of performance, accountability and service quality across the team.

Client Relationship Management and Financial Oversight

• Identify and develop opportunities to grow client relationships, expand service offerings and support the continued growth of the Asset Management Services business.
• Represent the business at industry events, networking opportunities and client meetings, helping strengthen market presence and develop new business opportunities.
• Monitor and manage the financial performance of your client portfolio, supporting profitability, billing activities and effective management of receivables.
• Contribute to budgeting, forecasting and business planning activities, using commercial insight to support sustainable growth and operational success.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Risk Management or a related discipline.
• Professional compliance or financial crime qualification such as CAMS, ACAMS, ICA, CFCS or an equivalent certification is preferred.

Knowledge, Skills & Experience

• At least six (6) years' experience within compliance, financial crime or regulatory advisory roles, with a strong understanding of AML, CFT, CPF and sanctions requirements within the financial services sector.
• Experience acting as AMLCO, MLRO or DMLRO, ideally supporting Cayman Islands regulated funds, fund managers or related investment structures.
• Strong working knowledge of the AML/CFT/CPF/TFS legislative framework in the Cayman Islands, including practical application across a range of structures (e.g., funds and structured finance vehicles), with the ability to apply regulatory requirements in a practical, risk-based and commercially minded manner.
• Demonstrated ability to assess financial crime risks, conduct client risk assessments and provide clear, balanced recommendations that support both compliance and client objectives.
• Confidence in evaluating suspicious activity matters, exercising sound judgement and managing regulatory reporting obligations where required.
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with clients, boards, regulators and internal stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills and experience managing multiple client priorities, deadlines and deliverables while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
