• The consultant will conduct structured interviews, workshops, and walkthroughs with key stakeholders across the organisation's lines of business, including property management, leasing, sales, finance, and other AML-touchpoint functions. They will document current AML-related processes across people, process, and technology dimensions, identify gaps and risks against UAE AML/CFT regulations — including CBUAE guidelines, FATF recommendations, and real estate sector-specific obligations — and produce a Current State Assessment Report capturing findings, observations, and a prioritized gap analysis.

• The consultant will design end-to-end AML processes using SAP Signavio in BPMN 2.0 notation, covering Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) and escalation workflows, name and sanctions screening, PEP identification, and ongoing monitoring and periodic review cycles. They will collaborate with the Business Excellence team to align process designs with the organisation's existing process architecture and documentation standards, and facilitate review and sign-off workshops with process owners and compliance stakeholders.

• Working alongside the Business Excellence team, the consultant will draft an AML Policy — including purpose, scope, roles and responsibilities, and regulatory linkage — and develop supporting frameworks covering an AML Risk Appetite Statement, Customer Risk Scoring Methodology, AML Controls Framework, and a Roles and Responsibilities Matrix (RACI). All documents must be formatted in line with the organisation's policy governance standards and prepared for Board and Senior Management approval. The role also includes delivering a concise AML awareness module that communicates key obligations and ensures staff understand their responsibilities in preventing and reporting suspicious activities.
