About the role
As an AML/Sanctions Consulting Manager, you will make an impact by stabilizing, configuring, and enhancing mission-critical Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) production systems across sanctions screening, customer risk scoring, governance risk & compliance, and transaction monitoring.

In this role, you will:
- Stabilize and support the FircoSoft Continuity (v6.12.x) production deployment, including troubleshooting real-time screening issues, optimizing performance, and managing filtering rules, list management, and matching logic.
- Configure and maintain SAS Viya environments supporting customer risk scoring, including managing the backend data model and enabling reliable scoring workflows.
- Build and support platform integrations (REST/SOAP APIs), including publishing sanctioned/screening, risk scoring, and GRC outputs to an enterprise Data Lake using out-of-the-box platform APIs where available.
- Configure and administer RSA Archer GRC, including extending applications, questionnaires, workflows, and data models to meet business and regulatory needs; deliver enhancements from user stories across risk, compliance, and audit.
- Support Finastra FCRM / Fiserv transaction monitoring and SAR filing, including configuration and tuning of detection scenarios, case management workflows, production issue resolution, and ensuring reporting timelines and data quality standards are maintained.

The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.
What you must have to be considered
- Hands-on experience supporting production-grade financial services systems, including incident troubleshooting and root-cause analysis in high-availability environments.
- Technical expertise across FCC platforms, including FircoSoft Continuity (v6.12.x), SAS Viya, RSA Archer GRC, and Finastra FCRM / Fiserv (transaction monitoring and SAR filing).
- Experience building and maintaining API integrations (REST and/or SOAP), including publishing data to downstream analytics platforms (e.g., a Data Lake).
- Working knowledge of AML and sanctions screening concepts and operational needs, including real-time screening and monitoring/case management considerations.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders (operations, infrastructure, data engineering, and business teams).
These will help you succeed
- Experience supporting real-time payments screening and performance optimization in a production environment.
- Familiarity with data engineering patterns (data modeling, reliable data pipelines, and operational monitoring for feeds).
- Experience translating regulatory or audit requirements into GRC workflows and system configurations.
- Comfort working in complex, multi-platform environments where priorities shift and systems are mission-critical.
- Experience documenting configurations, incidents, and runbooks to improve stability and reduce repeat issues.
