Senior Compliance Technology & Data Analyst

Compliance Requirements Definition & Oversight

• Define, document, and maintain compliance business requirements for financial crime technology systems, including customer risk assessment tooling, KYC and periodic review workflows, sanctions and PEP screening, and transaction monitoring.

• Provide second-line oversight and independent challenge of technology solutions proposed or delivered by the first-line Product and Engineering teams, assessing whether they meet compliance obligations.

• Review and formally sign off on system design documentation, functional specifications, and configuration decisions from a compliance perspective, escalating concerns where requirements are not met.

• Ensure compliance requirements are captured accurately at the outset of any technology project or change, preventing regulatory risk from being introduced through inadequate system design.

• Monitor the performance of deployed compliance systems against defined regulatory and operational standards, raising issues where system outputs fall short of expectations.

Technology Change — Compliance Representation

• Represent the second-line compliance function in technology change programmes, system migrations, and vendor selection processes affecting financial crime controls.

• Review vendor and system proposals from a compliance and regulatory perspective, providing structured assessments and recommendations to senior compliance leadership.

• Define acceptance criteria for system changes and new deployments, and provide compliance sign-off following satisfactory user acceptance testing.

• Participate in UAT cycles from a compliance assurance standpoint — validating that systems behave in accordance with regulatory requirements and agreed compliance logic, rather than performing technical testing.

• Maintain awareness of the Group's compliance technology landscape to identify gaps, overlaps, or single points of failure that may present regulatory risk.

Compliance–Engineering Interface & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary relationship holder between the GFCC function and the Product and Engineering teams, facilitating constructive working relationships whilst maintaining the independence appropriate to a second-line function.

• Translate regulatory obligations and compliance policy requirements into structured, unambiguous technical briefs that engineering teams can act upon.

• Challenge first-line technical decisions where they conflict with compliance requirements, escalating unresolved issues through appropriate governance channels.

• Provide compliance input and review at key project milestones, design reviews, and sprint ceremonies as a subject matter expert rather than a delivery participant.

• Maintain clear records of compliance decisions, requirements sign-offs, and outstanding issues to support audit and regulatory examination.

Data Quality Oversight & Compliance Analytics

• Commission, review, and where necessary produce compliance management information, dashboards, and analytical outputs to support senior management oversight and regulatory reporting.

• Assess the quality and completeness of data feeding into financial crime detection models and screening systems, escalating deficiencies that could impair their effectiveness.

Governance, Policy & Regulatory Awareness

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of compliance policies, procedures, and standards relating to financial crime technology and data governance.

• Proactively monitor regulatory developments and industry guidance relevant to financial crime technology, assessing their implications for the Group's compliance infrastructure.

• Maintain a current understanding of the regulatory expectations for key financial crime controls, including customer risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, screening, and transaction monitoring.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify weaknesses or inefficiencies in existing compliance controls and processes, recommending technology-enabled enhancements to senior compliance leadership.

• Contribute to the Group's compliance technology strategy by providing informed, evidence-based input on priorities, risks, and opportunities.

• Stay current with developments in RegTech, financial crime typologies, and regulatory expectations to ensure the Group's compliance technology remains fit for purpose.

• Promote a culture of regulatory accountability and data-driven risk management within the compliance function.
