The Financial Crime Assistant Director supports EY clients in managing anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, fraud, and broader financial crime risks. Requirements typically include a degree in finance, accounting, law, business, or a related field; substantial experience in AML, compliance, investigations, risk consulting, or financial services; and strong knowledge of regulatory frameworks. Professional certifications such as CAMS, ICA, or equivalent are advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to lead client engagements, manage teams, develop risk assessments and compliance programs, communicate with senior stakeholders, support business development, and deliver high-quality work within deadlines. Strong analytical, report-writing, presentation, project-management, and people-leadership skills are essential.
EY, or Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, tax, consulting, strategy, and transaction services. Its teams work with businesses, governments, and institutions to improve performance, manage risk, meet regulatory obligations, and pursue sustainable growth. EY operates across numerous countries and industries, combining sector expertise with technology and data-driven solutions. In the Philippines, EY supports local and international clients through offices and delivery teams that provide audit, consulting, tax, financial crime, technology, and risk services. The firm is known for its emphasis on professional development, collaboration, inclusion, and helping employees build specialized expertise. A role at EY may involve domestic and international clients, multicultural teams, regulatory change projects, and opportunities to progress into senior leadership or specialist consulting positions.
The Philippines offers opportunities in financial services, shared services, consulting, technology, healthcare, tourism, and business-process operations, with Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao as major employment centers. Filipino culture is generally warm, community-oriented, and English-friendly, making professional integration relatively accessible. Manila provides the widest career options but has heavy traffic and a fast-paced urban lifestyle; Cebu offers a more relaxed setting with a growing business sector, while island destinations provide beaches and outdoor activities. Living costs vary, with housing and commuting usually highest in central Manila. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly an Alien Employment Permit and 9(g) work visa; requirements can change, so official government guidance is important. Relocating employees should arrange employment documents, healthcare, housing, tax registration, and local banking before arrival.
