 A multi-jurisdictional company looking for a bright individual to join them as AML/KYC Manager. 

Candidates with a good technical foundation will be suitable; they will have regular interaction with the CJER management team. 

A minimum of 5 years experience in the trust and company and/or fund administration field is required, as well as a strong understanding of current legislation and regulation applicable to a mixed TCB/FSB service provider.

The position is part of the first line of defence in cooperation with the client facing teams. The AML/KYC Manager works closely with the second line Compliance Manager, to ensure that we have   appropriate policies and procedures in place to manage regulatory and compliance risk, as well as regular monitoring and testing of those policies and procedures.

The chosen candidate will work within a small, happy, qualified and experienced, team. Training is encouraged and there is regular in-house training, supplemented by external training/seminars where required.

A knowledge of MoMEs and Schedule 2 supervised entities would be an advantage. The candidate will be required to obtain JFSC no objection in order to be able to provide MLCO/MLRO services to CJERs fund and MoME clients. The current holder of these positions will be available for training purposes until the successful candidate is able to work autonomously.

The role would suit a professional, positive, organised individual with excellent communication skills and a good working knowledge of Jersey CDD requirements. Experience of using ViewPoint would be an advantage but is not essential, as training will be given. The successful candidate will have a relevant compliance qualification.

A significant part of the role will include ensuring that all clients serviced by the business teams in the Jersey office have fulfilled CDD requirements, in accordance with Jersey legislation, regulation and guidelines as issued by the JFSC.

The AML/KYC Manager will play a key role in business acceptance and onboarding, overall CDD monitoring and assisting the business teams on meeting their compliance obligations, both internally and externally.

The function is also responsible for overseeing risk related action plans in line with the Risk Management framework.

Normal working hours are 9am to 5.15pm Monday to Friday, with an hour for lunch. Whilst we do not anticipate any regular necessity for excessive working beyond these hours, there will be occasions when we may need assistance outside these minimum hours, such as compliance projects with a deadline.
