We are looking for Anti-Financial Crime consultants to join our growing Financial Services team in Finland. In this role, you will work with leading financial institutions to help them strengthen their financial crime capabilities and deliver successful transformation initiatives across AML, KYC, Sanctions and Fraud.

You will be part of client teams or lead defined workstreams in engagements where regulatory expectations, operational needs and technology-enabled change need to come together. Your main goal is to help our clients translate complex regulatory and industry requirements into clear project deliverables, practical solution designs and measurable business outcomes.

The role is suitable for professionals who combine Anti-Financial Crime subject matter expertise with strong project delivery skills and an interest in how modern technology, data and platforms enable better financial crime prevention. Depending on your experience, you may contribute as a functional specialist, business analyst, project lead or consultant in client engagements.

You will also get access to Accenture’s global knowledge base, Nordic and international colleagues, and opportunities to grow your expertise across financial crime, banking transformation, technology implementation and advisory work.

Responsibilities

• Act as an Anti-Financial Crime functional expert in client engagements, bringing practical understanding of AML, KYC, Sanctions or Fraud processes.

• Work closely with business, risk, compliance and technology stakeholders to ensure that transformation initiatives are aligned with client goals, regulatory expectations and operational realities.

• Contribute to solution design and implementation activities across areas such as transaction monitoring, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, fraud detection, case management, workflow and reporting.

• Collaborate with technology teams to clarify requirements, support system configuration, testing, data analysis, integration discussions and business readiness activities.

• Support problem solving, analysis, documentation, stakeholder communication and decision making in complex project environments.

• Contribute to sales, proposal work and offering development by bringing domain insight, client perspective and practical delivery experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a relevant field, such as business, finance, economics, law, technology, data, engineering or another applicable discipline.

• 3–6+ years of relevant experience in Financial Services, consulting, regulatory change, technology delivery or Anti-Financial Crime related projects.

• Experience in one or more Anti-Financial Crime domains: AML, KYC, Sanctions or Fraud.

• Understanding of how regulatory requirements, industry expectations and internal policies are translated into processes, controls, business requirements and technology-enabled solutions.

What’s in it for you

• Opportunity to work with leading financial institutions on business-critical financial crime, compliance and transformation topics.

• A role where you can combine domain expertise, project delivery and technology-enabled change rather than focusing on only one dimension.
