Join a Trusted Banking Brand Committed to Integrity and Protection

On behalf of one of Australia's most respected banking institutions, we are seeking an experienced Financial Crime Manager for a fixed-term opportunity within their established financial crime and fraud team. This is an excellent role for a skilled professional who thrives on making a tangible impact—investigating fraud, protecting customers, and strengthening the bank’s defence against financial crime.
This position sits within a well-established division that delivers retail banking products including mortgages, deposit accounts, and business finance services to a broad customer base. It is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully in a critical risk and compliance function, while gaining valuable experience within a mature and well-supported business.

About the Role
The Financial Crime Manager will be responsible for:

• Leading investigations into suspicious transactions and fraudulent activity
• Monitoring reports, identifying financial crime trends, and escalating risks
• Supporting onboarding, KYC processes, and wealth & investment divisions
• Liaising with other financial institutions, law enforcement, and customers
• Working closely with internal teams across operations, compliance, and risk
• Ensuring consistent adherence to AML and regulatory frameworks

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys detail, analysis, and doing work that protects and serves real people. You’ll have the backing of a collaborative, capable team and leadership committed to maintaining high standards of governance and ethics.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in fraud and financial crime roles, ideally within banking or financial services
• Familiarity with AML obligations, regulatory compliance, and KYC best practices
• A high degree of integrity and a sharp analytical mindset
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work autonomously and in cross-functional teams

This is a hands-on role suited to someone confident working in a fast-paced but structured environment, with strong judgement and a natural curiosity to explore trends, patterns and root causes.

Why This Role?
While this is a maternity leave cover, it presents a career-enhancing opportunity to join a respected financial institution and gain exposure to a robust, well-governed financial crime framework. You’ll be part of a team where customer trust, ethical conduct, and professional growth are not just encouraged but embedded in the culture.
