The Investment Banking Financial Crime Officer helps Barclays identify, assess and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions breaches, bribery and other financial crime risks. Responsibilities typically include conducting client and transaction reviews, investigating alerts, advising investment banking teams, escalating concerns, maintaining accurate case records and supporting regulatory reporting. Candidates are expected to have experience in financial crime compliance, KYC, AML, sanctions or investigations, ideally within investment banking or another regulated financial institution. Strong knowledge of Hong Kong regulatory requirements, sound judgment, analytical ability and clear communication skills are important. The role also requires independence, attention to detail and the confidence to challenge business decisions when risk controls are insufficient.

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in investment banking, compliance, risk, fintech, asset management, accounting and professional services. The city has a fast-paced, international work culture that values efficiency, hierarchy, teamwork and professional credentials. Life is convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse restaurants, shopping, hiking trails and easy access to beaches and nearby islands. Housing is expensive, particularly on Hong Kong Island and in central districts, while Kowloon and the New Territories can offer more space for less. Most overseas professionals need an employment visa sponsored by their employer; applicants generally need a confirmed job, relevant qualifications or experience and a suitable salary. Dependants may usually apply to join them. New arrivals should budget for rent, deposits, healthcare, transportation and relocation costs, and confirm tax, visa and employment requirements before moving.
