Join our Global Sanctions team in our Financial Crime Risk Division who play a key role managing and maintaining Macquarie’s global sanctions framework, providing day to day advisory on complex sanctions escalations from institutional and retail business, operations groups, and Financial Crime Risk colleagues, including providing guidance on new and emerging regulatory developments.

This role can be based in either Singapore or Sydney.

As a Senior Manager, you will support the annual enterprise-wide risk assessment process, including review of risk assessment methodologies to ensure these effectively capture sanctions risk and conduct impact assessments of sanctions related regulatory developments and providing guidance to stakeholders on compliance, including on the development and implementation of any necessary controls.

You will support the development, maintenance and oversight of implementation of sanctions policies, standards, procedures and other key documents, as well as contribute to change projects aimed at the development and enhancement of Macquarie’s sanctions control framework, to ensure it is commensurate with regulatory expectations and industry best practice.

In addition, you will provide sanctions advice in relation to clients and transactions across all regions, operating and support groups; developing and delivering targeted sanctions training and internal and external reporting.

What you offer

• Demonstrable experience in a second line sanctions compliance or advisory role in an equivalent financial institution.
• Strong understanding of global sanctions requirements, with Asia experience being highly regarded.
• Knowledge of investment banking products and services, as well as knowledge of trade sanctions and export controls.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
