This role combines enhanced due diligence (EDD), ongoing monitoring, and thematic/audit reviews into a comprehensive oversight function that ensures our clients maintain strong controls aligned with Bridge’s expectations and regulatory standards.

What you’ll do

This person will design the framework, manage a team of analysts/reviewers, and run an ongoing audit/QA program that evaluates client controls across AML/BSA, sanctions, fraud, and risk domains.

Responsibilities

• Build and Run the Client Oversight Program




• Design and implement Bridge’s client oversight framework, including risk-based schedules for reviews and ongoing monitoring.


• Develop testing methodologies, checklists, and evaluation criteria for assessing client AML/BSA and financial crime controls.


• Ensure the program aligns with regulatory expectations, internal policies, and evolving risk exposure.
  
  




•  Lead the EDD & QA Team




• Manage a team responsible for conducting:




• Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reviews on high-risk clients


• Periodic control assessments and audits


• Quality assurance checks on onboarding and monitoring outcomes




• Provide coaching, support, and subject-matter guidance to junior reviewers and analysts.

• Execute Reviews & Assessments




• Review clients’ policies, procedures, governance, and control environments.


• Evaluate the design and effectiveness of their AML/BSA, sanctions, fraud, and risk controls.


• Conduct interviews with client compliance/risk leaders as part of oversight work.


• Produce clear, thorough reports summarizing findings, risks, and required remediation.

• Ongoing Monitoring & Risk Escalation




• Track completion of client remediation actions and follow-ups.


• Escalate material risks or program weaknesses to the MLRO/BSA Officer and relevant internal teams.


• Maintain dashboards, KPIs, and documentation supporting program governance.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
