About You

As a Transaction Monitoring Team Leader at Tide,  you will lead a Team of analysts within our first line of defence. The team you will lead conducts checks against fraud and money laundry, focussing on transaction activity. You will be responsible for the growth of this team to meet Tide’s obligations towards regulatory requirements and the risks associated with banking financial services. This includes managing the team’s day-to-day workload and taking responsibility for analysts personal development, and quality. You will review the current controls and processes, ensuring they are of the highest quality, and suggest improvements where these seem to fit. When required, you will advise and guide analysts on cases, conduct assurance on a variety of processes and support investigations for more complex cases.
