AML Compliance Officer

My client is one of Victoria's leading residential real estate groups, a long-standing brand defined by success and with 30+ branches throughout the state (and counting).

They are now looking to appoint an AML Compliance Officer ahead of the Tranche 2 reforms - to support the business in building and maintaining a centralised AML compliance function.

A pivotal role and a unique opportunity for someone interested in advancing their AML compliance career within the newly regulated, Australian real estate industry.

‍

About the role:

‍

Ensure ongoing compliance with AML/CTF laws and other regulations relevant to the business

Develop, implement, and regularly update the AML/CTF Program

Monitor transactions, manage CDD/ECDD processes, investigate compliance issues, and report suspicious matters

Act as the primary liaison with AUSTRAC and submit required reports

Deliver training and guidance to brokers and support staff on their AML/CTF obligations

Manage compliance systems and coordinate independent AML/CTF reviews

Stay updated on regulatory changes and serve as the key point of contact for AML compliance-related queries

‍

About you:

‍

Experienced in AML compliance program development and risk analysis

Experienced in CDD/ECDD processing and transaction monitoring

You’re a clear communicator who delivers feedback constructively and with care, and are experienced in engaging with different stakeholders

An ACAMS certification or legal background would also be highly regarded (but not essential)

Ideally, you have experience in a similar role in the real estate sector, either locally or offshore, OR you bring experience in AML compliance from a start-up or fintech environment where you're used to wearing multiple hats and building processes from scratch

‍

Other benefits:

‍

The company has a tight-knit team at head office, with a lively culture. People tend to stick around in this business with some impressive tenures and even returning employees. They've also built a strong reputation in the market and are the most awarded residential real estate group in Victoria.

Not to mention – this is one of the first ever AML-focused appointments in the Australian real estate industry and is the very first in Melbourne. A career-defining opportunity to set the standard for AML compliance in a newly regulated sector.
