We’re looking for a curious, detail‑driven Financial Crime Consultant to help protect our customers, colleagues, and the Society. If you’re passionate about preventing financial crime and want to play a key role in keeping people safe, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Who We Are

Not just another building society. Not just another job.

We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us different is that we're a mutual organisation. We don't have shareholders; we're owned by our members.

Our colleagues say Skipton's a great place to work, and you could be one of them, bringing new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do.

Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Financial Crime Consultant, you’ll handle a diverse workload, navigate shifting priorities, and make confident decisions that help safeguard our customers.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing large volumes of customer records to identify genuine financial crime risks.
• Investigating system‑generated alerts relating to suspicious activity.
• Assessing risks, taking appropriate action, and documenting findings clearly and accurately.
• Working at pace, adapting quickly when priorities shift.
• Partnering with internal teams (e.g., Branch Network, Second Line of Defence) and external stakeholders as needed.

What We’re Looking For

To be successful in the role, you will need:

• Previous experience in a similar role.
• Confident decision‑making under pressure.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to write clearly and concisely.
• Ability to stay up to date with evolving regulations and financial‑crime trends.
• Understanding of:
  • Fraud prevention
  • Anti‑money laundering
  • Savings & mortgage products
  • Supporting vulnerable customers
