You’ll guide model performance in line with enterprise model risk management standards, methodologies and regulatory requirements, while shaping the strategic roadmap for TM capabilities. Drawing on emerging AML/ATF typologies, regulatory expectations and industry trends, you’ll help strengthen detection and address monitoring coverage gaps.

• Recommend customer segmentation and optimization approaches for TD's monitoring system across multiple lines of business.
• Continuously benchmark TD's Transaction Monitoring capabilities against peers to assess maturity, and partner with the Business Architecture team to advance those capabilities.
• Drive modelling innovation in financial crime risk management through advanced statistics and AI/ML.
• Shape the strategy for implementing Transaction Monitoring products, aligning delivery with Canadian regulatory and risk priorities.
• Lead a team of FCRM professionals and data scientists in defining a clear product vision, strategy and roadmap across the full development lifecycle—from creation through version and infrastructure upgrades to decommissioning, where required.
• Develop your team through talent acquisition, clear goals, employee development, performance management and compensation decisions, while fostering teamwork and addressing disciplinary matters as required.
• Work closely with your US counterpart to develop and maintain a common Transaction Monitoring strategy, solutions and processes.
• Bring together stakeholders, including FCRM Oversight teams, FCI and Model Validation, to lead Transaction Monitoring changes and overcome implementation barriers.
• Collaborate with the Governance team, which owns governance of the Transaction Monitoring (TM) Coverage Map.
• Influence the Transaction Monitoring roadmap and recommend ways to optimize FCRM data across all monitoring systems.

• Significant exposure to common Transaction Monitoring systems, including Actimize, SAS and Oracle.
• Experience developing documentation that meets the highest regulatory standards and audit requirements.
• Extensive knowledge of AML regulations, risks and appropriate controls.
• Deep understanding of Transaction Monitoring products, including SAS, Actimize, Oracle and BAE, and their implementation within TD or peer organizations.
• Knowledge of financial crime red flags and typologies in the US and Canada.
• Strong understanding of key risk management concepts, including inherent risk, controls and residual risk.
