Summary of team
The job holder will work with an existing change delivery analyst and report to the Manager of FCT Operations and Change. The FCT is responsible for protecting the Banks financial operations against financial crime risks ((AML, CTF, PF, sanctions, and payment fraud). In doing so, the FCT ensures the Bank follows all UK financial crime law as well as international best practice, such as that issued by Financial Action Task Force (FATF), FCA and the Basel Committee. FCT is a high profile team, reporting to the Bankwide Financial Crime Board, the Executive Risk Committee and directly to the Bank's Governor, Deputy Governors and Executive Directors on the management of financial crime risks.
Anti-financial crime efforts are highly dependent on technology and data analytics, meaning that change is central to the teams work. The FCT owns the FCRM automated anomaly detection and sanctions screening software, which analyses Swift messages for suspicious activity and further investigation. FCRM is a complex system and we need to make sure it is fit for the future in step with changes such as AI, cybercrime and a volatile geopolitical environment. Furthermore, FCRM is at the heart of the Banks Swift traffic and as such is heavily impacted by projects making changes to other MBPR systems and Swift payment messages.
Summary of role The role has two aspects:
- The initial focus of the role is to deliver FCRM related changes from the CuPE Programme. This is likely to run to February 2028. CuPE is a strategic programme to provide a set of strategic initiatives to ensure compliance with mandatory payment industry standards, addressing technology obsolescence and risk, and enhancing the stability and resilience of the Bank's payment infrastructure. Amongst other things, CuPE will upgrade FCRM and consider the system deals with new case management functionality.
- Thereafter, the role will transition to a broader change role:
- Helping to deliver long-term strategic improvements to FCTs transaction screening and monitoring capability which will likely include a FCRM replacement.
- Delivering a programme of BAU change including Swift releases, FCRM maintenance and the impact of other projects in the MBPR portfolio.
While the focus of the role is on the successful delivery of change, in due course, should this be of interest, as part of FCTs cross-functional resilience arrangements there are likely to be opportunities to participate in the teams wider programme of financial crime work as part of developing financial crime understanding and career development,.
