Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • As an Assurance Associate at Griffin Banking Ltd, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the bank’s Direct Customers (DCs) meet their financial crime obligations, directly supporting Griffin’s mission to power secure, compliant financial products for innovative fintechs and platforms.
- • You will manage your own caseload of assurance reviews end-to-end: scoping assessments based on entity type and risk, conducting in-depth reviews of DC responses, identifying gaps in AML, KYC, sanctions, transaction monitoring, and SARs controls, and producing formal reports with clear recommendations on risk rating adjustments.
- • You will engage directly with senior external stakeholders including CEOs, MLROs, and Compliance Managers, particularly when communicating challenging findings, and follow through to ensure recommendations are fully closed out.
- • You will contribute to the evolution of the assurance function by identifying process improvements, supporting automation initiatives, and helping shape how oversight remains rigorous, proportionate, and trusted as Griffin scales into new areas like card issuing and stablecoin infrastructure.
- • You will join a remote-first, high-trust, high-autonomy culture where proactive ownership and clear communication are valued, and where your work directly impacts the safety and reliability of Griffin’s banking infrastructure for customers like Uber, Yonder, and Prosper.
- • You will develop deep expertise in financial crime oversight within embedded finance, gain experience in stakeholder management and risk-based decision-making, and build credibility as a trusted advisor both internally and with external partners.
🎯 Requirements
- • Experience working in financial crime compliance in an audit, assurance, oversight, or monitoring role with hands-on review experience (not purely advisory or policy work).
- • Hands-on experience conducting financial crime audit or assurance reviews, including assessing control frameworks and identifying gaps in AML, sanctions, KYC, transaction monitoring, SARs, and customer onboarding journeys.
- • Proven ability to write clear, formal review reports and actionable recommendations based on audit findings.
- • Strong organisational and analytical skills to manage multiple reviews at different stages and detect subtle control weaknesses.
- • Confidence in managing external relationships and conducting difficult conversations with senior stakeholders such as CEOs and Compliance Officers.
- • Excellent writing skills with a focus on clarity, structure, and readability, aligned with Griffin’s internal writing standards.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere in the UK, with the option to use the London office as desired.
- • Work from abroad: Up to 20 days per year to work internationally while remaining employed.
- • Generous time off: 25 days’ holiday, bank holidays, and a winter break (office closed between Christmas and New Year).
- • Share options: Opportunity to own equity in the company as it grows.
- • Comprehensive health and wellbeing: Private medical insurance via Bupa (including family cover), life insurance with AIG, and access to 1:1 coaching and therapy through Oliva.
- • Enhanced family leave: Up to 6 months on full pay after two years’ service.
- • Modern work support: AI tools including a Claude subscription, and assistance setting up a productive home office.
- • Pension: Auto-enrolment into the Penfold pension scheme.
