The opportunity:

A fantastic opportunity to join the UK Compliance team as a Compliance Assurance Consultant.

You will deliver technical and regulatory services and expertise to relevant business areas, as well as supporting your colleagues within Compliance. You will help to embed regulatory discipline within the business, manage and review compliance risks and advise on the design of appropriate controls and monitoring.

Other activities may include interaction with key outsourcers, supporting Compliance reporting as well as development and implementation of an effective Monitoring Plan. Once established, there is also the opportunity for the job holder to contribute to the wider activities and teams across the department (e.g. Data Protection or Anti-Money Laundering).

This role is available part-time, job-share or full time. This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren't available full-time.

  • Proactively make recommendations to mitigate underlying exposure and/or resolve any identified issues
  • Develop an understanding of business drivers by understanding internal and external stakeholders' priorities, constraints
