Role : Financial Crime Training Location : London Duration : 6 Months PAYE Overall purpose of the role The overall purpose of this role is to build and establish a brand-new training framework from scratch to enhance role-based Financial Crime training. Driven by regulatory findings from the Federal Reserve and FCA Skilled Persons reviews, this position focuses on ensuring that specific employees-such as Relationship Managers and KYC Analysts-understand their unique Financial Crime risks and know exactly how to spot and escalate them. Key Skills Financial Crime or Compliance domain knowledge: Deep understanding of the field to accurately identify risks (such as fraud) and train staff on key regulations on the horizon (such as EU AML Authority and virtual asset regulations). Tangible training expertise: Proven experience in instructional design and creating training content, going beyond simply writing policy documents. Stakeholder engagement: Strong communication and negotiation skills to manage potential pushback from line managers and Business Management teams up to the Director level regarding the amount of required training. Good governance skillset: Experience in developing oversight of controls, including designing, testing, and ensuring they are working properly. Alternatively, solid experience in Financial Crime policy or writing audit and regulatory closure packs is acceptable. Evaluation and measurement: Understanding of methodologies for evaluating training effectiveness over time, such as tracking improvements in QA scores or training pass rates. Desirable certifications: Relevant Financial Crime certifications and formal instructional design training (such as Cornerstone academy courses) are preferred but not strictly required. Key responsibilities Develop and implement a targeted, role-based mandatory training framework from the ground up. Conduct Training Needs Assessments/Analysis (TNA) and role mapping to determine exactly which employees require specific training.

However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. Barclays also has a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances Your Benefits As a contract employee of Randstad Sourceright, you'll receive a wide range of financial and personal benefits.

Some deals stall and drift away, Some close triumphantly one fine day. The OTE shines bright ahead, Like numbers dancing in your head. Through proposals, meetings, wins and fails, The salesperson forever sails. For every "no" that comes to call, One signed contract beats them all. I've got 20 years recruiting sales people and I need a winner. is that you? Jake
