Assess licence and AML supervision applications in line with AAT regulations.

Strong knowledge of compliance, audit, and assurance.
Understanding of regulatory frameworks and AML legislation.
Excellent time management, attention to detail, and report-writing skills.
Strong communication and influencing abilities.
Proven experience in compliance monitoring and decision-making.
Ability to analyse evidence and provide clear recommendations.
Experience within a professional body or regulatory environment is desirable.
Relevant qualifications in AML, compliance, or audit is desirable.
If you’re passionate about upholding professional standards and want to make a real impact in the regulatory space, we’d love to hear from you.

At AAT we believe in treating our staff well and this is reflected in our wide-ranging benefits, which include:
Hybrid working (1-2 days per week in our London office) and opportunities for further flexible working.
25 days’ annual leave, increasing one day per year up to a maximum of 30 days plus bank holidays.
Great pension scheme, life assurance and critical illness cover.
Health cash plan.
Enhanced maternity and shared parental leave contributions of up to 6 months’ full pay depending on the length of service.
Regular wellbeing initiatives.
Cycle2Work scheme and much more.
Closing Date: The planned closing date for this role is 27 January 2026 at 17.00, however, we reserve the right to close the role earlier than planned.
It’s an exciting time to join AAT and we would love you to join us on our journey. In 2023 we achieved one-star company status in the Best Companies survey and we have recently launched our strategy to 2030.
We are committed to being an inclusive and welcoming place to work. We encourage applications from diverse candidates and make recruitment decisions based on skill and experience. We have a Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Champions group, which leads on our D&I strategy and organise events to celebrate and raise awareness. We are a disability-confident committed employer and have signed up to the Race at Work Charter. We have also signed up for the Women in Finance Charter and in 2022 we exceeded our target for appointing females into senior positions.
Come and help us to make AAT an even better place to work!
