Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity.

Assignment Description:
Joining us in Forensics
Grant Thornton’s Financial Crime & Investigations (FCI) team is the first port of call for an increasing number of firms in the UK market when grappling with financial crime policy, prevention, incident response, investigation and remediation.
If you’re an experienced Interim Transaction Monitoring Specialist who’s tired of choosing between freedom and meaningful work, there’s another route. Within our Forensics team, you’ll be given the opportunity to take on short- to medium-term projects that sharpen your expertise, stretch your thinking, and give you a different angle on familiar challenges - all without locking you into a single path.
Skills we are looking for
- Extensive end-to-end transaction monitoring experience within banking, payments or financial services.
- Strong expertise in rule coverage, rule design, rule tuning, testing and implementation.
- Demonstrated experience designing transaction monitoring scenarios from initial typology definition through to production deployment.
- Proven ability to define required data sources, develop scenario logic, apply customer or product segmentation, and conduct robust testing.
- Hands-on experience tuning transaction monitoring thresholds and optimising alert quality.
- Experience identifying, developing and implementing new transaction monitoring rules.
- Strong understanding of financial crime risks, AML controls and suspicious activity detection techniques.
- Ability to operate independently and deliver practical solutions within challenging timelines.
Why Consultants choose the ATC
· Work that moves you forward
When a project fits your skills, we’ll get in touch, but you choose whether it’s right for you. That means working on engagements that genuinely build your portfolio and expand your expertise.
· The freedom of contracting without the hidden admin
You’re not left to navigate the freelance world alone. Our Agile Talent team helps you understand freelance regulation and connects you with people who broaden your thinking through our teams and clients.
· Community you can actually feel
Connection shouldn’t disappear just because you’re contracting. From market insights to wellbeing sessions to networking events, you’ll be part of a community designed to make the independent path less isolated and more impactful.
Our culture and values
We have a culture where talented people thrive – where high performance is not just expected but enabled. It’s a culture built on clarity, curiosity, and care. One that challenges us to aim higher, where we’re encouraged to make the most of an abundance of resources to fuel our own development, and where we support each other to grow, learn, and succeed.
Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
