• Stakeholder Engagement – Act as the primary compliance expert for senior leadership, business units, and external regulators.
• Regulatory Risk & Compliance Monitoring – Oversee the firm’s compliance monitoring plan, proactively managing regulatory risk and advising on FCA/IFoA changes.
• Business Integration – Work closely with Actuarial, Investment, Defined Contribution Consulting, Financial Services, and Third-Party Administration teams to ensure compliance is embedded into core business functions.

• A strong understanding of the FCA Handbook, regulatory perimeter, and financial crime regulations.
• Proven experience in influencing senior leadership teams and embedding a compliance-driven culture.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to advise, challenge, and implement solutions.
• A proactive and strategic mindset, with a track record of driving operational efficiencies and compliance improvements.
• Experience in a professional services, legal, actuarial, or financial services environment would be advantageous.

A relevant professional qualification (e.g., Compliance Diploma) would be desirable but not essential.
