• Own senior oversight of GCC client lifecycle priorities across onboarding, KYC review, remediation, account activity review, waivers, restrictions, quarantine and offboarding.
• Set risk- and business-based priorities for the GCC pipeline, agree delivery plans with KYC Operations and control partners, and drive completion against policy, regulatory and client deadlines.

Strategic Change and Operating Model Execution

• Define programme scope, governance, milestones, dependencies and success measures; maintain delivery discipline and escalate material risks or decisions promptly.
• Identify recurring root causes and work with Operations, AFC, Compliance, Legal and Technology to implement sustainable, scalable solutions rather than case-by-case workarounds.

• Promote a culture of disciplined execution, early escalation, continuous improvement and consistent application of global standards across APAC.

Your skills and experience:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Corporate Banking or a Business Execution/COO function with good understanding of complex corporate and institutional client structures, KYC and AML/AFC requirements, periodic reviews, remediation, client perimeter controls and associated regulatory obligations.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in leading cross-functional initiatives, resolving complex or time-critical client issues and driving delivery across regional and global teams without direct authority.
• Previous experience in identifying control gaps, assessing business and client impact, designing proportionate mitigants and escalating material issues appropriately.
