Senior Compliance Oversight Specialist - TikTok - Global Payment

ting effectiveness (OE) methodologies

• Standardised testing documentation, workpapers, and reporting standards

3. Assess whether financial crime controls embedded within compliance products and systems:

• Appropriately designed to address inherent financial crime risks
• Properly governed, approved, and maintained
• Operating effectively and consistently across jurisdictions and product variants

4. Execute control focused testing across core FCC domains, including:

• KYC / KYB control frameworks (e.g. risk scoring logic, onboarding decision rules, trigger based reviews)
• Name and sanctions screening controls (e.g. rule configuration, list management, alert logic, tuning governance)
• Transaction monitoring controls (e.g. scenario coverage, typology alignment, thresholds, change management)
• Suspicious activity escalation and reporting controls (e.g. trigger mechanisms, decision governance, oversight controls)

5. Evaluate control coverage, configuration, and dependency on data inputs, including:

• Reliance on automation, thirdparty tools, and internal systems
• Completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness of data feeding key FCC controls
• Limitations, assumptions, and compensating controls where automation is incomplete

6. Own the issue lifecycle management for control testing outcomes, including:

• Definition of root causes and risk impacts
• Tracking remediation actions to completion
• Performing targeted retesting to validate control remediation

7. Develop management reporting and indicators focused on:

• Control effectiveness trends across products and regions
• Recurring control design weaknesses
• Emerging financial crime risks arising from product changes or scaling

8. Act as a credible challenge function to product, engineering, and compliance teams, ensuring financial crime controls are designed to scale with TikTok's evolving business models without defaulting to operational workarounds.
