Your role

Does the prospect of mitigating Anti-Money Laundering (AML) risk in the financial markets with models excite you? Are you willing to take ownership of such models and oversee their governance, operation, maintenance and further development? Are you an analytical and structured individual who thrives when collaborating with a team of model owners and developers?

In your role as Senior AML Model Operations Specialist, you will:

  • Actively drive the governance of models within our global portfolio of transaction monitoring models.
  • Act as the main point of contact for senior management and stakeholders from various departments, including colleagues from model validation, business, monitoring surveillance, and audit, for matters related to the AML models under your ownership.
  • Rely on your team to support you in matters of maintaining and improving model operation.
  • Ensure that model performance monitoring and model documentation is adhering to the minimum standards.
  • Devise a Book of Work that plans for the model validation lifecycles and the accompanying deliverables, thereby ensuring a timely and within-budget completion of tasks.
  • Have direct hands-on experience with AML models, such as Actimize, Mantas, or in-house built solutions.

Your team

You will be joining the Transaction Monitoring team within GCRG Methodologies and Models, the model and innovation hub for UBS non-financial risk management. The team is set up globally, with model developers and operation specialists working in close collaboration to ensure an efficient and effective mitigation of AML risk. Your team would be located in Warsaw, Poland.

Your expertise

  • An advanced educational foundation with a Master’s or Ph.D. degree from a reputable university in STEM / Economics (computer science, natural science, mathematics, statistics, physics, data science, electrical or mechanical engineering, financial engineering, or similar related majors).
  • 10 years or more of work experience, with at least 7 years in financial services in the AML, risk and compliance domain. Strong domain knowledge in Financial Crime Prevention, Market Surveillance, or employee monitoring is required.
  • Expertise in how AML risk can be effectively monitored using models, including the effective execution of repeated modelling activities such as testing, optimization, calibration of parameters and below-the-line testing.
  • Relevant hands-on experience of model risk management, model governance and their processes (e.g., following the Supervisory Letters SR 11-7, 15-18, 15-19). A thorough understanding of the model regulatory framework and ability to support and guide model owners to align to industry expectations is expected.
  • The ideal candidate would also have experience representing a large financial institution, or supporting designated individuals who represent such institutions, in a regulatory review setting, particularly with regard to questions about model appropriateness and validation activities. Any regulatory remediation experience is especially advantageous.
  • Excellent project management, communication and presentation skills are essential, especially with regard to interpersonal skills. This includes managing timelines, mitigating blockers, initiating escalations and avoiding delivery surprises by managing expectations, communicating transparently and clearly and proactively engaging with stakeholders.
  • A self-starter spirit with a strong analytical mindset is a core trait to succeed in the role. Having the ability to identify risk and opportunities proactively, independently devise plans, evaluate conceptual soundness, identify weaknesses and limitations in models is highly desired.
  • Candidates with CCAR / DFAST, credit risk, market risk, or operational risk experience in model development and / or model validation are also encouraged to apply.
  • Proficiency in written and spoken English is required, other languages advantageous.
