Opportunity Overview: Resource Solutions has an exciting opportunity for a Regional Head, Regulatory Principles, Governance and Engagement (VP-Director) to join client for a permanent position. This role will provide exposure to a truly international and multi-cultural environment that appreciates and respects individuality

About our Client: Our client is one of the world's leading financial service providers and a German multinational investment bank and financial services company. Our client network spanned 58 countries with a large presence in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

Role Objective:

Our AFC team is responsible for protecting Bank from financial and reputational losses incurred by financial crimes by assessing, controlling and mitigating risks. Risk types related to Anti-Financial Crime are consolidated in a comprehensive and effective risk management framework that covers Anti-Money-Laundering, Sanctions & Embargoes, Anti-Fraud, Bribery & Corruption and Investigations.

The AFC Regulatory Principles, Governance and Engagement (RPG&E) team’s mandate is to ensure that relevant law, regulation and rules are identified, interpreted and understood by AFC, so that AFC may then ensure that these are understood across Bank and that that bank has in place all necessary controls. This involves identifying relevant new law and regulation prior to implementation; and ensuring bank understands it and puts in place necessary policies and controls in respect of it. The RPG&E team also leads AFC’s involvement in litigation and other contentious matters, as well as complex legal issues involving the department.

As well as colleagues across AFC, the team works closely with Legal and Compliance colleagues. RPG&E’s team mandate is global. Its agenda is set by both the Global Head of RPG&E and, for each region, the Regional Head of AFC. Members of the RPG&E team will deal both with projects and matters that are region-specific; and with global projects and matters, involving multiple locations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensuring that regional RPG&E projects and matters, or regional inputs into global projects and matters, are delivered to a high standard and in a timely fashion. These projects and matters will cover all aspects of RPG&E’s mandate, from identification and interpretation of law, to contentious and complex legal matters as they arise.
• Manage projects and matters in close consultation with the Global Head of RPG&E, as well as with the Regional Head of AFC, as necessary. You will be able to draw on the central RPG&E team for administrative support as necessary.
• Oversight on matters related to Regulatory and Group Audit including coordinating audit read-across work functionally and regionally.
• Support Monitorship matters in coordination with global teams and across departments.
• Oversees training and Event Driven Staff Reliability matters.
• Your skills and experience:
• You will be educated to at least good undergraduate degree standard and you will, preferably, have a professional qualification (legal qualifications are particularly desirable)
• You will have substantial experience as an AFC or Compliance officer, or as an in-house lawyer, in a credible financial services organisation
• You will have stakeholder management experience and experience of project delivery
