Manager, Global Adverse Media

What is the opportunity? The Global Adverse Media Team supports and executes several workflows within RBC’S AML FIU by conducting a second‑level triage function. The team takes decisive action on alerts and cases that require diligence beyond the first‑level triage (name matching) to assess the materiality of Control List Filter (CLF) alerts under various risk factors. This work leads to a risk‑based approach of escalation and case‑level attention by the High‑Risk Client Management Team (HRC), AML Investigations, or AML Compliance. Reviews alert escalations to assess relevant adverse information (RAI) to confirm name matching and materiality of the negative news. Determines if the alert warrants further AML Investigation, HRC Investigation, or other applicable stakeholders while documenting the approach accordingly. Serves as a subject‑matter expert/senior specialist in the review of CLF alerts across several lines of business, conducting name‑matching analysis and risk appetite contemplation using RBC approved techniques and tools. Assists with testing methodology, piloting with CLF alerts coverage regions, and new themes. What will you do? Conduct second‑level triage on CLF alerts for all applicable business lines to (a) escalate potentially suspicious activity or materially relevant adverse information (RAI) for further review; (b) identify scenarios applicable for the Level Two Triage Process and execute the process; or (c) close false positives. Ensure alerts are thoroughly documented with sufficient rationale to support escalation, Level 2 action, or closure, mitigating risk to the enterprise and aligning with RBC’s risk appetite. Provide ongoing feedback to senior management to ensure name‑matching logic is sound and of high quality, facilitating decisions with minimal additional requests and mitigating financial, regulatory, reputational, and legal risk to RBC.
