Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead complex financial crime investigations and act as a subject matter expert for AML and fraud prevention. Responsible for analyzing transaction monitoring alerts, conducting high-risk customer assessments, and preparing regulatory reports such as SARs.
Requires deep technical expertise in financial crime frameworks, including CDD, EDD, and KYC processes. Must be able to provide specialist guidance, coach colleagues, and manage stakeholder communications effectively.
As a Senior Financial Crime Investigator, you will play a critical role in protecting the organisation and its customers from fraud and financial crime risks. Acting as a subject matter expert in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and fraud prevention, you will lead complex investigations, provide specialist guidance, and act as a key escalation point for Financial Crime Investigators and wider business stakeholders. The role will also involve taking escalation calls ensuring they are dealt with in a competent and timely manner.
You will be responsible for investigating transaction monitoring alerts, suspicious activity referrals, and high-risk customer cases across a range of retail and corporate products. This includes conducting detailed Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and Know Your Customer (KYC) assessments, analysing transactional behaviour, and identifying potential financial crime risks. A core part of the role involves producing high-quality rationale and ensuring decisions are accurate, consistent, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
You will also prepare and quality check Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), including Defence Against Money Laundering (DAML) submissions, and manage ongoing stakeholder communication during investigations. In addition, you will review sanctions and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening escalations, as well as payment filtering alerts, ensuring appropriate escalation to senior management or second-line risk where required.
Working closely with Financial Crime Operations leadership and second-line teams, you will help strengthen controls, identify emerging trends, and contribute to system and process improvements. You will play an active role in quality assurance activities, coaching colleagues, and sharing best practice to drive high performance and consistency across the team.
Alongside investigative responsibilities, you will support the delivery of management information (MI), contribute to risk and control self-assessment (RCSA) processes, and ensure adherence to regulatory and internal policy standards. You will also collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, including operational teams and relationship managers, to support effective customer outcomes.
This role offers the opportunity to combine technical expertise with leadership and stakeholder engagement, contributing to a robust financial crime framework while enhancing the overall customer experience.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
At Nationwide, we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK-wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job, you'll be assigned to our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be weekly in Gosforth. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide
