This is a high-profile, business-critical position offering the opportunity to take ownership of the firm's compliance policy framework, advise senior stakeholders and play a key role in shaping how regulatory change is understood and embedded across the organisation.

You'll be at the heart of the firm's regulatory and policy activity, with responsibility for:

" Owning and developing the compliance policy framework

" Leading regulatory horizon scanning and identifying upcoming changes

" Advising senior stakeholders and providing expert regulatory guidance

" Preparing regulatory updates and impact assessments

" Supporting the implementation of key policy and financial crime controls

" Working closely with senior leadership, governance bodies and external stakeholders

" Helping ensure regulatory requirements are translated into practical, commercially focused solutions

" Playing a key role in maintaining a strong culture of compliance across the business

What are we looking for?

Alongside this, you'll benefit from:

" Hybrid working after a settling in period
