About the Role
The Senior Manager - Financial Crime Advisory will serve as the Financial Crime Lead for the Data & Analytics sector within the broader Financial Crime Advisory team at London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). This role is part of the Group Financial Crime 2LOD function and works closely with partners across the Data & Analytics business to ensure financial crime compliance and accountability.

Key responsibilities include oversight of entities’ compliance with AML and broader Financial Crime legislation, accountability for adherence to Group policies and procedures to counter financial crime risks, and reporting to Entities’ Boards, Risk Committees, and Senior Management to provide transparency and escalation of financial crime matters.

The role acts as the primary contact for financial crime issues, risk events, and higher risk scenarios. It involves oversight of financial crime risk assessments, ensuring appropriate identification and impact assessment of risks, and evaluating the effectiveness of controls and policies.

Additional duties include oversight of Financial Crime Operations, monitoring and reporting of management information (MI), key risk indicators (KRIs), and critical metrics to senior stakeholders. The Senior Manager will represent Financial Crime at internal risk committees, board meetings, steering committees, and new product committees to ensure proper consideration of financial crime risk.

The role also provides expert financial crime compliance advice based on legislation, regulatory expectations, risk mitigation, and appetite. Promoting financial crime compliance and awareness within the entities and across the Group is essential.

Developing and managing relationships with key internal and external partners—including central control functions such as Risk, Legal, Internal Audit, Financial Crime Operations, and relevant regulatory bodies—is a critical aspect of the role. The Senior Manager will ensure timely identification, analysis, and impact assessment of key regulatory, legislative, and geopolitical developments, updating financial crime risk assessments, policies, and procedures accordingly.

Collaboration with key business partners to ensure compliance with financial crime policies and processes, and understanding local systems and controls, is required.

Joining LSEG means becoming part of a global organisation with a culture of growth, opportunity, diversity, and innovation, where you can develop and fulfil your potential with meaningful career opportunities.
