Senior Manager - AML Compliance

Job Requisition ID: 41947 

• Help lead Deloitte's AML function across client onboarding, quality assurance, framework stewardship and AUSTRAC reporting in a role with real enterprise-wide influence.

• Tackle big issues like cyber, trust, resilience and digital transformation

• Mentoring, coaching and leadership programs to help you make an impact that matters

Join Deloitte's AML team as a Senior Manager in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide and help shape how we manage financial crime risk in a complex professional services environment.

What will your typical day look like?

This is a hands-on leadership role with broad oversight across AML operations and framework uplift. You'll help set priorities for the team, oversee workflow across client risk assessment, entity mapping, screening and due diligence, and stay close to higher-risk matters where sound judgement really counts.

A big part of the role is strengthening how the function runs and evolves. That includes quality assurance, compliance monitoring, policy and procedure enhancement, enterprise risk assessment inputs, training requirements, and clear governance reporting that supports confident decision-making by senior stakeholders.

Working closely with the AML Compliance Officer, onshore subject-matter experts and offshore CDD analysts, you'll balance strategic leadership with operational detail. The pace can shift quickly, especially during periods of sustained demand, so success in this role comes from being practical, calm and ready to step in where needed.
