Associate Director, Financial Crime (Data and Technology) FINTRAIL

Cosegic’s Digital Finance practice is scaling rapidly.

As Associate Director you will lead data-centric and technology-enabled engagements across the financial crime spectrum. You’ll partner with payments firms, banks, and other regulated financial firms to assess financial crime risk, design advanced analytic models, implement and independently test detection and monitoring systems, and advise on technology transformation, tooling, and ongoing effectiveness. This role blends advisory strategy with hands‑on technical delivery and requires someone comfortable across data architecture, analytics, ML/AI concepts, and regulatory expectations. It requires a strong understanding of AML and financial crime regulations in the UK, EU (preferable) and other countries, with solid experience in a related role from either another consultancy or from working in internal roles at a financial institution.
