About the Role 

We are involved in complex, global, and high-profile investigations, combining end-to-end risk advisory expertise with regulatory compliance solution-driven deliverables.

We are looking for a Senior Consultant-level team player who will demonstrate deep expertise in one or more of the financial crimes: Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Terrorist Financing, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Fraud or other economic crimes.

It is important that you have strong written communication skills, with the ability to create clear, concise, and professional reports. We require you to have strong analytical skills with the ability to collect, analyse, and interpret large datasets to inform key decisions.

As a senior team member you will be required to exhibit exceptional autonomy and initiative to manage projects and tasks with minimal supervision. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills for conducting interviews with stakeholders and subject matter experts are non-negotiables. An understanding of human behaviour will be a plus.

You will have strong experience in financial crime advisory, investigations and specifically in the area of exchange control compliance.

You will be passionate about exploring and developing innovative strategies and programmes to support our success - whether that be in broadening our offer by creating new products or services, supporting business development or extending existing relationships.

You will be required to support team networking both inside and outside the firm.

Our work in financial crime is across the ecosystem including financial and public institutions, regulators, law enforcement and technology. This means you'll need to be adaptable and enjoy offering financial crime consultancy services to a broad range of client stakeholders.

- Determining any non-compliance to appropriate legislations (e.g. Exchange Control Regulations)

• Manage the resolution of issues, problems and differences across a range of business or client-related matters

• Interact with regulators and their lawyers, and understand regulatory developments, understanding the impact on clients and potential new clients

• Conduct interviews with third parties

• Demonstrate a passion for our industry and an insatiable thirst for cutting-edge knowledge about financial crime and the use of technology in this quest

• Actively participate in pitch proposals, manage RFPs, take on the role of presenter and demonstrate capability around commercial discussions

• Ensure all work undertaken by FTI professionals is in line with FTI's values, Code of Ethics, and Strategic Communications Rules of Practice and that they live these commitments daily.

• Travel as required to client sites and the FTI office(s).

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities.
