  • The ability to build credibility quickly, influence senior stakeholders and deliver effectively in a contract or interim role.

  • Experience preparing clear, high-quality reports, management information and papers for senior management and governance forums.

  • The ability to support and guide colleagues, sharing knowledge and providing practical advice across the Compliance team.

Day-to-day responsibilities
  • Support regulatory engagement with Lloyd’s, the PRA, the FCA and other relevant regulators, ensuring regulatory requirements are effectively managed and embedded.

  • Provide second-line compliance advice, oversight and challenge across the generalist compliance agenda, including conduct, Consumer Duty, complaints, regulatory change, breaches and notifications, SMCR, policies and training.

  • Oversee service company arrangements, regulatory obligations and delegated responsibilities, assessing the effectiveness of local compliance controls.

  • Coordinate regulatory reviews and submissions, identifying and managing regulatory risks across the managing agent and its service companies.

  • Support the financial crime and sanctions frameworks, including due diligence, risk assessments and sanctions screening oversight.

  • Contribute to integration activity and project work, including the development of the Compliance team’s target operating model (TOM).

  • Support the review and alignment of compliance policies and procedures, ensuring agreed compliance plan activities are delivered.

  • Prepare high-quality reporting and management information for senior stakeholders and governance forums.

  • Provide guidance and support to members of the Compliance team, sharing knowledge and promoting consistent ways of working.
