A major insurance organisation is implementing the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) across its Belgian business unit and in coordination with an international group programme. The Project Manager AMLR will lead regulatory change across compliance, processes, data, governance, tooling and IT delivery, using Agile project management and executive stakeholder management to turn AML requirements into implementable changes.
The mission
The regulation establishes a consistent EU-wide framework for anti-money laundering controls, requiring common approaches to customer data, monitoring, governance and regulatory reporting. The programme spans countries and business units, with the Belgian track needing to align local processes and systems with the broader group implementation. This work connects financial services and the insurance industry with practical compliance, risk and IT decisions.
As the AMLR project manager, you will assess the effects of new requirements on processes, systems, data and governance, then convert findings into a clear implementation roadmap. You will coordinate business and IT workstreams, manage dependencies and track delivery against regulatory deadlines and business priorities. Your stakeholders will include compliance, legal, risk, data specialists, architects, delivery teams and senior executives, with regular alignment across international counterparts. The assignment is planned at 50% capacity through 15 December 2026.
