• Must demonstrate a proactive, time sensitive, results driven approach in carrying out all duties, obligations and responsibilities.
• Ability to understand regulations and regulatory guidance, assess the impact and develop practical operational procedures to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Knowledge of Australian and NZ regulations and market practices is key, but experience of EMEA jurisdictions – particularly the UK - will be viewed favourably.
• We would expect applicants with a complaints handling or fraud management background, although applicants with strong AML/CTF or vendor management backgrounds are also welcome.
