Details of the Division and Team:
Deutsche Bank (DB) is committed to the highest standards of Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Sanctions & Embargoes, Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) and Anti-Fraud & Investigations (AF&I) and wider Financial Crime (collectively referred to as Anti Financial Crime) prevention. The Management and all employees are required to adhere to these standards to prevent DB and our reputation from those who may intend to use our products and services for money laundering, bribery, corruption, fraud and/or Terrorist Financing (TF) purposes.
Overview
The purpose of the Strategic Remediation & Control Office (SRCO) in APAC is to deliver comprehensive governance and oversight of remediation activities while enhancing the quality and efficiency of the Bank’s risk and control environment.
As part of the efforts put by DB to maintain its high standards in terms of Financial Crime prevention, the bank is running several Transaction Monitoring (TM) projects at a global, regional and local level which are aiming to bring significant improvements in the Transaction Monitoring space. Complex and large-scale projects, such as the implementation of Strategic TM and Case Management platforms across the APAC branches of the bank, require adequate oversight and monitoring to ensure a successful delivery.
The Transaction Monitoring project manager within SRCO will need to have strong and solid project and stakeholder management skills to ensure that both Change-The-Bank (CTB) and Run-The-Bank (RTB) TM projects are executed smoothly, in a controlled and audit-proof manner and adhering to the agreed scope and timelines.
The chosen candidate will have to engage with a wide range of stakeholders (3 Lines of Defence and Technology) and proactively anticipate and manage risks and issues which may cause delays and unexpected outcomes along the project life cycle.
Activities to be performed by the TM project manager for achieving success include but are not limited to project planning and execution, budgeting, senior management reporting, coordination and monitoring of remedial activities and establishment of communication channels across relevant stakeholders at a local, regional and global level. The TM project manager will need to ensure that appropriate level of documentation and execution discipline is applied along the projects so that the execution is done in a sustainable manner with proper handover to BAU where applicable at the end of the project.
The chosen candidate should have experience in project management across all project/program related activities such as drafting of project artifacts (e.g. Business requirement documents), documenting testing execution (e.g. UAT test cases) and other regulatory related tasks (e.g. coordination of regulatory reporting submissions).
