Effective leadership – Provide leadership and influence with partners to gain concurrence on changes or deficiencies requiring remediation to support a strong AML program.

Relationship management – Develop strong relationships with the BU leaders & employees through regular meetings, presentations and interactions. You will participate actively in the management of the relationship by building and leading presentations, performing risk assessment and quality assurance activities and promoting the AML program and culture.
