The Group AML/CTF Regulatory Lead is responsible for interpreting anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, monitoring regulatory developments, and advising ANZ’s businesses and senior leaders on compliance obligations. Requirements typically include substantial AML/CTF, financial crime compliance, regulatory affairs, or legal experience; strong knowledge of Australian and international requirements; excellent analytical, written, and stakeholder-management skills; and the ability to influence across a complex banking organisation. The successful candidate is expected to provide practical guidance, support regulatory engagement, identify emerging risks, contribute to policy and control improvements, and promote a strong compliance culture. Experience working with AUSTRAC, major banks, or multinational financial institutions is highly desirable.
ANZ Bank is one of Australia’s major banking groups, serving individual customers, businesses, institutions, and government organisations across Australia, New Zealand, and selected international markets. Founded in 1835, the bank provides retail and commercial banking, institutional banking, payments, lending, wealth, and financial markets services. ANZ employs thousands of people and operates in a highly regulated environment where risk management, responsible banking, digital innovation, and customer protection are central priorities. Its Group functions support the organisation through areas such as finance, technology, legal, compliance, operations, and human resources. A role in ANZ’s AML/CTF regulatory team would involve working with senior stakeholders across the bank and helping maintain strong financial crime controls while responding to changing laws, regulatory expectations, and operational risks.
Australia offers opportunities in banking, financial services, technology, healthcare, engineering, education, construction, and professional services, with Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Canberra as major employment hubs. Workplace culture is generally practical, collaborative, relatively informal, and focused on accountability, inclusion, and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to coastal, regional, and outdoor-oriented communities; beaches, national parks, sport, and multicultural dining are major attractions. Skilled professionals may explore employer-sponsored visas, the Skilled Independent visa, or state and territory nomination pathways, subject to occupation lists, qualifications, English ability, age, and experience. Relocating usually requires budgeting for housing, healthcare, transport, and initial settlement costs, especially in Sydney. Applicants should verify current visa rules through the Australian Department of Home Affairs and confirm whether the employer provides sponsorship or relocation assistance.
