• Improve and standardise AML processes, controls and tools using data, quality measures, automation and digital solutions, including AI.
• Keep up with legislation, regulatory requirements and EY policies and turn changes into concrete processes, communication, training and implementation.
• In the first 12 months: map end-to-end AML processes and dependencies, introduce a case-prioritisation model, strengthen quality of risk assessments, reduce manual steps through playbooks and self-service material, and set up management reporting on quality, progress, capacity and compliance risk.

• Strong analytical skills and interest in data, technology, automation and AI.
• Degree such as cand.jur., cand.merc.jur. or cand.merc., or equivalent; the right competencies matter more than the exact background.
