Group Anti Financial Crime Processes

Within the Group Anti Financial Crime (GAFC) Function, we are looking for a talented and proactive resource to join the team. The position is within the Processes & Operations (P&O) unit, which drives the practical side of AFC, designing and implementing processes and tools that enable entities to apply AFC requirements and controls in a consistent and efficient way. We operate in a space where technology meets regulation, and we are looking for someone who can comfortably live in both worlds.

About the Role

This role offers a unique mix of regulatory understanding and practical technology work. You'll use your technical abilities to make a real impact on how a global Group operates.

The mission of the unit is to identify the most efficient way to translate regulatory requirements into processes and technologies, sometimes designing new frameworks from scratch, other times enhancing existing setups, and in some cases integrating advanced technologies on top. This requires a combination of analytical mindset, constructive criticism and creative thinking.

You'll work across several AFC areas, such as screening, risk classification, suspicious activity reporting, controls, and data-driven monitoring. This is not a developer role but you'll thrive here if you enjoy using tools like Excel macros, Python basics, Power BI or simple automations to make processes smarter, faster, and more efficient.

Being a part of a truly international environment, your work will combine process ownership, operational controls, technology support, data analysis and coordination with multiple teams.

You will join a dynamic unit composed of young professionals with diverse backgrounds, mindsets, and skills. Together, this blend of perspectives creates an enriched view, enabling the team to deliver ideas and results quickly, in an organized and constructive way.

Key responsibilities of the role will include:

• Mapping and analyzing internal processes and controls, identifying, designing, and executing efficiency improvements
• Using data analysis and data visualization tools to support decision-making and controls
• Creating templates, dashboards, or small scripts for automating and simplifying repetitive tasks
• Supporting and guiding the implementation of IT projects across the Generali Group, ensuring alignment with business needs and regulatory requirements
• Governing AFC processes and tools and contributing to their continuous evolution
• Contributing to GAFC's multi-year IT strategy and governance, proposing new initiatives and executing the strategy
• Collecting requirements, performing functional testing, and tracking KPIs

Requirements

Our ideal candidate will meet the following requirements:

• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with data
• Curiosity and basic familiarity with simple scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, Excel VBA/macros, low-code platforms) to effectively liaise with specialized IT teams working on solution development
• Data visualization experience (e.g. Power BI)
• Strong communication skills
• Experience with process optimization
• Fluency in English
• At least basic knowledge of financial crime topics

Soft skills:

• Curiosity and willingness to learn
• Hands-on approach to problem-solving
• Innovative thinking for redefining existing paradigms and proactive mindset
• Efficiency and effectiveness orientation using tools and technology
• Collaborative approach when working with others
• Ability to stay calm under pressure and manage stress effectively
