Job Description
Aberdeen plc is one of Europe’s largest investment companies, and we are built on a long-standing culture of caring about the future and making a positive impact. Together we invest for a better future. We do it to make a difference to the lives of our clients and customers, our employees, society, and our shareholders. Our business is structured around three distinct areas focused on our clients' changing needs: Aberdeen Investments, Aberdeen Adviser, and interactive investor.
This role brings that purpose to life by helping Aberdeen Adviser manage financial crime risk well, protect clients and invest in a stronger tomorrow.
The Anti-Financial Crime team sits within Risk & Compliance and provides second line oversight, advice and challenge across Aberdeen. For Aberdeen Adviser, the team helps a platform business serving UK financial advisers work within financial crime laws, regulations, policies and standards. By partnering with first line teams, the department protects clients, strengthens controls and helps enable our clients to be better investors.
As Anti-Financial Crime Analyst in the Adviser business, you will support the AFC Adviser MLRO with second line advice, oversight and challenge. Based in Edinburgh, this Analyst role works closely with Aberdeen Adviser, first line teams, auditors and professional third parties to support compliance with legal, regulatory and policy requirements. You will contribute to senior management reporting, monitoring and testing, risk assessments and escalation of matters outside policy, standards or risk appetite. It is an opportunity to build specialist AFC expertise, make sound risk-based decisions and invest in your tomorrow.
You will bring technical AFC knowledge, clear communication, balanced judgement and a collaborative style:
We are proud to be a Disability Confident Committed employer. If you have a disability and would like to apply to one of our UK roles under the Disability Confident Scheme, please notify us by completing the relevant section in our candidate questionnaire. One of our team will reach out to support you through your application process.
There's more to working life than coming home with a good salary. We have an environment where you can learn, get involved and be supported.
When you join us, your reward will be one of the best around. This includes 20 days’ annual leave, a 16% employer pension contribution, a discretionary performance-based bonus (where applicable), private healthcare and a range of flexible benefits – including gym discounts, season ticket loans and access to an employee discount portal. You can read more about our benefits here.
Enabling our clients to be better investors drives everything we do. Our business is structured around three distinct areas – our vectors of growth – focused on our clients’ changing needs. You can find out more about what we do here.
Whatever way you like to work, if you have the talent and commitment to join our team, we’d like to hear from you. At Aberdeen we’ve adopted a ‘blended working’ approach. This approach combines the benefits of face-to-face collaboration, coaching and connecting in our offices with the flexibility of working from home. It enables colleagues to find a balance that works for their roles, their teams, our clients and our business.
An inclusive culture, where diverse perspectives drive our actions, is at the core of who we are and what we do. If you need assistance with your application, or a reasonable adjustment to your interview arrangements – for example, because you are neurodivergent, or have a physical, sensory, cognitive, mental, visible or invisible disability – please let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
Ready to invest in your tomorrow as an Anti-Financial Crime Analyst in Edinburgh? Apply now and join Aberdeen in enabling our clients to be better investors.
