This is a rare opportunity to join a high-calibre, globally aligned organisation that operates at scale — yet offers the visibility, influence and impact of a boutique environment. It is genuinely a one-of-one opportunity in the Brisbane market.
The Business
Operating across global markets, this firm combines institutional-grade governance with an entrepreneurial, high-performance culture. The Brisbane office plays a meaningful role within the broader international platform, offering exposure to sophisticated products, complex client structures and cross-border regulatory considerations.
They are now investing further into their Risk & Compliance capability — and AML is a key priority.
The Opportunity
This is not a maintenance role. You will be the dedicated AML specialist, acting as the subject matter expert across the organisation and driving the continued uplift of the AML/TF framework.
With strong foundations already in place, the focus now is on enhancement, maturity and proactive risk management — particularly across onboarding, ongoing due diligence and higher-risk client oversight.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the AML/TF SME across the business
- Enhance policies, systems and controls in line with AUSTRAC requirements
- Oversee and strengthen Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), ongoing monitoring and trigger reviews, and transaction monitoring oversight
- Conduct reviews and investigations into higher ML/TF risk matters
- Manage regulatory reporting (including SMRs and annual compliance reporting)
- Deliver insightful reporting to senior leadership
- Build AML capability and awareness across stakeholder groups
- 4+ years’ AML/CTF experience within financial services
- Strong working knowledge of AUSTRAC obligations (ideally)
- Experience within banking, wealth or investment management
- Commercial mindset with the confidence to engage and challenge stakeholders
- Systems and data confident
Why This Role Stands Out
- Global investment management exposure
- Direct access to senior leadership
- High-visibility role in a sophisticated business
- Genuine mandate to uplift and shape the framework
- Brisbane-based, rare market opportunity
