We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.
Our Group Functions provide the services that all areas of the business need. This requires a talented and diverse team behind the scenes, who enable everyone at L&G to do what they do best.

- Reviewing, enhancing, or defining end-to-end processes for the team’s financial crime controls to ensure effectiveness and efficiency
- Collaborating with the team and stakeholders to develop and produce regular management information
- Acting as the point of contact for the Group’s data and technology functions, especially when issues arise
- Performing data analysis and testing to assess the effectiveness of financial crime controls and identify opportunities for improvement
- Working collaboratively with the wider team and stakeholders on various initiatives
- Managing and developing the team in accordance with company policies and procedures to achieve business objectives
- Ensuring all statutory and regulatory reporting is carried out in line with Consumer Duty accountability, and escalating issues to senior management and divisional risk teams as needed
Who we’re looking for:
- Proficiency in Microsoft products (PowerPoint, Word, Excel), SQL, XML, and visualisation tools is essential
- Extensive experience in financial crime and analytics or technology-based roles within financial services firms
- General knowledge of products/sectors such as insurance, investment management, pensions, annuities, and other financial services
- Understanding of non-UK regulatory and legislative frameworks related to financial crime, including sanctions, AML/CTF, fraud, ABC, CCO, insider dealing, and market abuse
- Strong knowledge of key financial crime risks and controls in the financial services industry
- Experience in producing financial crime reports and management information
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for delivering high-quality management information and presentations
- High attention to detail and ability to work effectively both individually and within a team
Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:
- The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
- Generous pension contribution
- Life assurance
- Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
- At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday

- There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all.
If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.
We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
Great news! We will let you know when a new job like this has been added!
