About the job

KPMG Israel is hiring an AML Manager to join our Compliance & Forensics practice.

In this role, you will lead complex engagements for leading financial institutions in Israel and globally—banks, fintechs, NBFIs, payment providers, and investment funds—supporting their compliance with AML/CTF, sanctions, and broader regulatory requirements. You will own delivery, manage teams, build trusted client relationships, and drive high-impact outcomes across governance, controls, and financial crime risk management.

What You’ll Do

• Own client engagements end-to-end: lead execution from proposal and scoping through delivery, closure, and commercial management (including billing and collections).
• Serve as a strategic advisor to senior stakeholders on AML/CTF, sanctions, and compliance risk—translating regulation into actionable frameworks and practical solutions.
• Lead and develop high-performing teams: manage, mentor, and drive delivery excellence across multiple workstreams.
• Design and enhance AML/CTF governance frameworks: policies, procedures, controls, risk indicators, monitoring methodologies, and performance measures.
• Perform and lead AML/CTF audits and compliance assessments aligned with regulatory expectations and market best practices.
• Investigate financial crime cases and analyze suspicious activity/events related to money laundering and terrorist financing.
• Oversee regulatory onboarding processes and ongoing compliance lifecycle activities in line with required standards.
• Drive technology enablement: support system selection, implementation, and optimization (including rule tuning, scenario refinement, and improvement of existing platforms).
• Deliver executive-level trainings and presentations to Boards and senior management, ensuring clear decision-making and strong governance.
