**What the Role Entails**
A hands-on, technology-major student responsible for developing and implementing technology tools that support the daily functions of the Group Sanctions Compliance Centre. The role is system-oriented, combining system design, development, testing, fine-tuning, and daily maintenance of the systems and supporting tools that assist sanctions compliance and end-to-end workflows. The role will work closely with sanctions compliance officers, product, engineering, and data teams. This is a frontline, hands-on role focused on supporting the development, implementation, and continuous optimisation of technical solutions related to the Group's Sanctions Compliance programme.

● Support the development, release, and post-launch monitoring of new system features and AI agent use cases (such as sanctions case review and analysis, automated drafting assistance, etc.), and continuously refine models and prompt engineering based on feedback from team members within the Centre.
● Participate in the digital structuring of daily sanctions workflows (e.g., advisory case records, analytical opinion capturing), ensuring that the entire lifecycle of each task is fully recordable, traceable, and reportable.
● Monitor regulatory guidelines and insights on RegTech (including emerging practices in AI agents and workflow automation), propose system optimisation solutions, and proactively bring innovative ideas into the team.
● Collaborate with product, engineering, data, operations, and compliance teams to translate sanctions workflows into systems and supporting tools.
● Based on internal team requests, take charge of system testing and quality reviews; document test cases, defects, and resolution paths.
● Prepare regular project progress reports and promptly escalate project issues or bottlenecks that could potentially impact project quality and schedules to the team or management.
● Perform ad-hoc tasks as requested by the team or senior management.
