Head of Transaction Monitoring

Company: BCB Group

Applicants must be able to attend the London office at least one day per week.

Responsibilities:

• Own the transaction monitoring framework for fiat and crypto across the Group (rules, scenarios, thresholds and documented rationale).
• Ensure every product, entity and payment flow feeds monitoring systems completely, including new products pre-launch.
• Manage alert handling end-to-end: triage, investigation, escalation, case management and closure with SLAs and quality standards.
• Keep alert and case queues within tolerance through capacity planning, rota management and backlog recovery.
• Oversee outsourced/third-party review capacity, SLA performance and quality controls.
• Lead rule calibration, effectiveness testing and automation of manual, low-judgement work.
• Lead and develop a team of 10+ analysts, build SOPs, QA/QC frameworks and MI for senior leadership.

Requirements:

• 5+ years in transaction monitoring or financial crime investigations, with at least 2 years in a lead/management role.
• Experience in payments, e-money, banking or crypto; experience across both fiat and crypto is a strong advantage.
• Proven track record improving a monitoring function (rule rebuilds, backlog recovery, automation) with measurable outcomes.
• Experience in workforce and capacity planning, QA/QC frameworks and managing operational SLAs, including outsourced oversight.
• Hands-on knowledge of rule design, threshold calibration and effectiveness testing.
• Working knowledge of UK AML requirements (MLRs, JMLSG), sanctions regimes (UK, EU, OFAC, UN) and PEP screening.
• Comfortable with data (ability to query, interpret and act); SQL or Python is a plus.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to France’s ACPR/AMF and reporting to TRACFIN, reporting to FINTRAC, or understanding FIU regimes in UAE and Switzerland.
• Experience with blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic or TRM.
• Clear view on where automation and AI assist monitoring versus where human oversight is required.

Stack:

SQL, Python, Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM, blockchain analytics

Benefits:

• Real ownership of a core control in a regulated, fast-growing firm and leadership of a 10+ person team.
• Direct access to senior leadership and an open culture.
