We have an exciting new opportunity for a Financial Crime Due Diligence Manager to join our Legal, Regulatory Affairs, Ethics & Compliance, and Secretariat Function (LRECS). LRECS focusses on providing a diverse and inclusive environment with a strong emphasis on wellbeing and delivering opportunities for growth and personal development.
You will be an integral part of our expanding Group Financial Crime team, assisting with building, enhancing and maintaining the Centrica Group Financial Crime program as well as leading the ‘know your customer’ (KYC) checks on new and existing third parties, carrying out periodic reviews consistent with Centrica’s procedures and ensuring that accurate records are kept and maintained.
Location: We work flexibly in line with our Flexible First working arrangements believing that empowered colleagues are happier and more productive. The successful candidate will, however, need to be comfortable commuting to our London office on a regular basis and on occasion to our Windsor office.
What will you do?
- Lead on protecting Centrica from risks arising from money laundering & terrorist financing, sanctions, bribery & corruption, fraud and tax evasion, both in the UK-facing and foreign portions of the business.
- Propose, implement and maintain Centrica Energy wide processes and policies and provide strategic-level guidance and technical advice on financial crime issues across the business, to different audiences as required and in line with group minimum standards.
- As required, brief on financial crime to our Board and Executive Committee.
- Support our Senior Due Diligence Manager with line management responsibilities. This includes day-to-day task management as well as broader mentorship, skill development, and succession planning.
- Own and manage the Centrica Energy Due Diligence Control Framework, including the Financial Crime Minimum Standard and all supporting guidance and documents.
- Engage with key stakeholders across Centrica to set risk appetites, embed the framework, and ensure their risks and controls continue to be managed in line with agreed risk appetite for both emerging and longstanding risks.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
We are seeking a highly skilled compliance and risk management specialist with extensive experience in due diligence and KYC to standards expected by the FCA. Ideally with global experience, this role requires a strategic thinker with a strong understanding of operating in a regulated environment. Ideally you will also be able to bring an understanding of commodity trading in the energy sector.
Qualifications and Skills:
- Degree or equivalent professional experience; ICA Diploma or ACAMS preferred.
- Demonstrable management and leadership capability.
- Gravitas and influencing skills to support senior stakeholders.
- Sound collaboration skills with peers, team members and internal stakeholders.
