  • Act as a central subject matter expert providing risk-based advice on complex, high-risk sanctions cases across jurisdictions, influencing go/no-go business decisions.

  • Lead the assessment of new regulations and executive orders, including extraterritorial impacts, and coordinate group-wide response actions such as exposure mapping and business instructions.
  • Define and maintain global sanctions screening standards, including screening lists, baseline rules, keywords, and calibration of tools to ensure effectiveness and risk-based targeting.
  • Oversee and challenge sanctions screening effectiveness, including testing, periodic reviews, and ensuring alignment between screening outputs and policy administration systems.

  • Advise on and coordinate responses to sanctions breaches, regulatory inquiries, and licensing matters, including interaction with regulators and authorities where required.
  • Collaborate closely with Group Legal and external counsel on complex or conflicting legal scenarios (e.g. cross-border conflicts of law, sanctions clause wording, or legal uncertainty).
  • Deliver training, communication, and ongoing support to business units and local compliance teams, ensuring consistent understanding and implementation of the Group TES Framework globally.

  • Proven track record in managing complex sanctions topics, including screening, investigations, escalations, licensing/authorities engagement, and advisory support to the business across multiple jurisdictions, ideally within an international insurance group.
