Sorry for not parsing out individual terms, phrases, etc., I felt the whole
was more remarkable (astounding really) than any of the parts.  Just so much
here, none of it yielding easily to comprehension.

To: Keith Bogen SPHR

 CIG Executive Staffing is working with a prestigious Company located in NY
for *Remediation Manager*  for a Full time Job.

*Resource Type  *Permanent



*Functional Job Title*        AMERICAS Remediation Manager - KYC Utility
Services

*Location* New York

BA/BSc



*Overview*

•             Overview of the business area

•             Current/future projects

•             Broad objectives of the role



Project provides a single, global onboarding and account maintenance service
that uses service company operating principles and a consistent service
proposition to deliver high-quality client service, robust client diligence,
and process excellence and standardisation across each onboarding function
from one integrated global team. We support more than 40 sites, from
regional hubs in London, Paris, Dubai, New York, Mexico and Hong Kong,
backed by 3 service centres in India and Malaysia.



*Our services include:*

•             Client Facing Services – Client Liaison and Client
Documentation Negotiation Services

•             Client Due Diligence Services – KYC and Credit Services

•             Data Management Services – ERDS, Account Maintenance and SSI

•             Change Mgt – A Global team supporting COBAM projects.



Project has been tasked with creating a KYC utility to provide a consistent
approach for KYC across the 87 countries of the Group for Global Banking and
Markets clients and potentially top end CMB as part of the overall Topaz
Project.



The jobholder will have ultimate responsibility for the overall success of
managing the remediation process from an AMERICAS KYC perspective.



This will include

•             Creating the AMERICAS remediation team required to support
this initiative. This will be initially ring fenced from the existing COBAM
KYC teams.

•             Implementation of remediation across the AMERICAS during next
4 years, initially focusing in the USA in 2011. Given technical challenges
associated with GCOS workflow implementation the AMERICAS remediation will
need to be implemented tactically in 2011, pending GCOS (COBAM’s onboarding
workflow system) deployment.

•             Assisting the KYC Utility Management  in establishing a new
offshore service centre in AMERICAS and ensuring appropriate remediation
processes are offshored, although it is recognised during 2011 this will
resourced via temporary staff in the USA.

•             Transition KYC processes from remediation to Run the Bank.



It is expected that the existing Project KYC team will grow from the current
200 staff (onshore / offshore) to 800-1,000 staff, with approx 70% offshore
in the Project service centres.  From an AMERICAS perspective the new team
will grow to approx 70 staff in 2011, and over 170 by 2016, with approx
60-70% offshore. The remediation team will in 2011 be circ 20 -40 staff
onshore, although in future this number could reduce with the establishment
of an offshore centre for the Americas.  The main focus of this role will be
the management of the onshore resources, although the success of the team
will be achieved through onshore and offshore teams working together.



The jobholder will be responsible for the delivery of high standards of
client service, at the same time ensuring that all internal (eg Risk) and
external (eg Compliance) standards requirements are met in full, utilising a
combination of onshore and offshore resource managed as a single global
Project team.



Critical external interfaces are with Project stakeholders in AMERICAS
across Global Banking and Markets, CMB and Compliance.
