**Director & Counsel (M/F/d), Frankfurt**

**You Lead the Way. We’ve Got Your Back**

With the right backing, people and businesses have the power to progress in incredible ways. When you join Team Amex, you become part of a global and diverse community of colleagues with an unwavering commitment to back our customers, communities and each other. Here, you’ll learn and grow as we help you create a career journey that’s unique and meaningful to you with benefits, programs, and flexibility that support you personally and professionally.

At American Express, you’ll be recognized for your contributions, leadership, and impact—every colleague has the opportunity to share in the company’s success. Together, we’ll win as a team, striving to uphold our company values and powerful backing promise to provide the world’s best customer experience every day. And we’ll do it with the utmost integrity, and in an environment where everyone is seen, heard and feels like they belong.

Join Team Amex and let’s lead the way together.

This role is a full-time position of lead lawyer for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) and financial sanctions issues relevant to American Express’ global operations, with particular focus on the UK and EU.

We are looking for an experienced practitioner, who will ideally already be a seasoned adviser in this area of law or otherwise be specialised in financial services regulation and have the aptitude to come up to speed quickly.

**How will you make an impact in this role?**
- The role involves leading the legal advice on AML and CTF issues, including financial sanctions and anti-corruption legislation, applicable to all lines of business within American Express. Key business areas relevant to this role include card issuing, merchant acquiring, 3-party card schemes and outsourcing.
- You will need to work closely with other GCO lawyers, business personnel, Compliance, Operational Risk, Government Affairs, external bodies and regulators.
- Matters may frequently be multi-jurisdictional and sometimes multi-regional in nature, requiring a strong grasp of the principles underpinning the legal framework and commercial pragmatism to find a compliant yet business-friendly solution.
- You will need to be confident speaking up in meetings and giving briefings to senior stakeholders and able to communicate clearly in writing.
- You will need to be comfortable navigating the organisation to understand and advise on our processes. This could involve working closely with our Compliance and Operational Excellence teams to critically assess and identify potential areas for enhancement of our AML program.
- You’ll need to demonstrate sound judgment and a good understanding of the regulators’ likely perspectives, notably where the law may be grey and interpretations unclear.
- From time to time you will also need to instruct outside counsel (i.e. external law firms) and manage associated budgets.
- You will report directly to the lead financial services regulatory lawyer leading the International AML Centre of Excellence (CofE), whilst working closely with the individual country lawyers and regional head.
- You will take a lead role in helping to develop the International AML CofE at American Express, formed of lawyers and Compliance specialists throughout the organisation committed to internal sharing of knowledge and expertise on AML, CTF and financial sanctions requirements. This may involve giving internal training or helping to define and share best practices in these areas of law.

**Minimum Qualifications**:

- German 2nd state exam or equivalent in any other EU jurisdiction (e.g., avocat, avvocato, abogado)
- At least 8 years of significant working experience post-qualification, ideally in financial crime matters in a law firm, regulator or in-house.
- Significant experience in a law firm and/or in-house corporate legal environment, ideally with a considerable body of relevant AML experience.
- Experience advising on AML, CTF and financial crime regulation. Familiarity with payments regulation landscape would be an advantage.
- Fluency in English. Working proficiency desirable in German, French, Spanish and/or Italian.
- Intellectually strong with sound judgment.
- Solid communication and influencing skills, comfortable speaking up.
- Able to work fairly autonomously and collaborate effectively.

We back our colleagues and their loved ones with benefits and programs that support their holistic well-being. That means we prioritize their physical, financial, and mental health through each stage of life. Benefits include:

- Competitive base salaries
- Bonus incentives
- Support for financial-well-being and retirement
- Flexible work arrangements and schedules with hybrid and virtual options with Amex Flex
- Onsite and online Healthy Living activities, including insightful health and workout webinars, as well as an array of in-person screening opportu
