About the team:

global fund ranges. The team plays a pivotal role in facilitating fund investment inflows and outflows
by managing key client lifecycle events, with a primary focus on executing Anti-Money Laundering
(AML) and Know Your Client (KYC) due diligence throughout the full client relationship. As a
dedicated centre of expertise, the CLM team ensures AML servicing is delivered with consistency,
efficiency and rigour. Acting as a professional interface with clients, the team is responsible for
requesting, collecting and sensibly assessing AML/KYC information to ensure full regulatory
compliance.
Operating in close partnership with Compliance, Legal, Fund Operations, Client Operations and
Onboarding, the CLM Team helps to ensure clients are appropriately managed and monitored
across all lifecycle stages. A critical enabler of the team’s effectiveness is a specialised client
lifecycle management system, which supports automation, reduces delays and strengthens
oversight. This technology allows the team to deliver a seamless, professional and compliant
experience for clients while ensuring regulatory compliance.

· Collaborate with key internal and external stakeholders, including Legal, Compliance, Onboarding, Fund Operations and transfer agents, to ensure timely, policy compliant completion of KYC requirements
· Monitor risks, trends and issues to ensure effective controls are in place, proactively escalating high-risk cases or anomalies and adapting processes to support continuous improvement
· Maintain accurate records to support audit and reporting requirements
· Source, aggregate and present reportable information in formats required by fund committees, boards, investors and management
· Stay informed on evolving KYC, AML and regulatory requirements and assist the team in embedding updated standards and practices
· Operate effectively within specialised CLM platforms and work with technology teams to streamline workflows, reduce manual interventions and enhance automation, monitoring and regulatory readiness
· Develop and maintain strong working relationships across all relevant internal functions and external service providers
· Share insights and experience with less experienced team members to help build capability, consistency and sound judgement across the team
