Job Role
We are looking fo
We are looking for a motivated and capable Financial Crime Training Manager to join our MENA-based team. This is an operational, hands-on role designed for someone with expertise in financial crime compliance and, ideally, client-facing training.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an expert who is looking for a training position in a high-growth firm that believes fundamentally in doing training differently. We are the antithesis of an e-learning provider: our courses are highly interactive, multimedia-rich, data-driven, case study focused and uniquely sector-specific. If this sounds exciting to you, and if you are motivated by working for a purpose-driven organisation with a team of talented self-starters, then we would love to hear from you.
You will be responsible for the design, development, and delivery of financial crime training - including classroom sessions, workshops, and digital content - with a focus on clients in financial services, non-financial regulated businesses and the public sector. You will be central to the delivery and execution of high-quality, interactive training experiences.
Responsibilities
- Create financial crime training courses (both classroom-based and digital) for Themis clients – design creative course concepts and draft detailed course content.
- For the digital courses, work closely with our external production team to support the operational execution and digitisation of materials.
- For the classroom-based training, deliver the courses you have designed, either virtually or in-person (which may involve an element of travel across the MENA region).
- Cultivate a deep understanding of local MENA financial crime legislation, regulation and industry developments, to feed back into training content and delivery.
- Co-ordinate training logistics, client coordination, and post-delivery feedback gathering.
Experience Required
- A professional background in a financial crime related role.
- Experience creating and delivering financial crime training.
- A financial crime specialist qualification (e.g. ICA or ACAMS) would be a significant advantage.
- A network of contacts in financial crime and compliance roles across the MENA region would be an advantage.
Skills Required
- Deep interest in and knowledge of financial crime topics.
- Demonstrated creativity in training concept development.
- High attention to detail and accuracy.
- Strong organisational skills, including an ability to multitask and prioritise to meet deadlines.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal and public speaking skills.
- Can-do attitude and proactive approach.
- Impeccable written skills in English.
- Fluency in Arabic would be a significant advantage.
