FULL DESCRIPTION

Compliance Business Partner

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing, technology-driven financial services business as a Compliance Business Partner. This role sits within the Risk & Compliance function and plays a key part in ensuring the organisation meets its regulatory obligations while maintaining a strong risk-aware culture. Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will provide regulatory advice, deliver second-line compliance monitoring and support governance frameworks within a dynamic and evolving environment. This is a varied role offering exposure across advisory, monitoring and regulatory governance, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working across multiple areas of compliance rather than being limited to a single specialism.

  • Support regulatory alignment across product development, pricing activity, process improvements and business change.
  • Respond to compliance queries and provide guidance to internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Interpret regulatory developments and support the implementation of new requirements.
  • Provide advisory support across areas such as product governance, marketing reviews, distribution arrangements and sales practices.
  • Support documentation, policy wording reviews and training & competence frameworks.
  • Support the development and delivery of the annual Compliance Monitoring Plan.
  • Conduct thematic and targeted compliance reviews across key business areas.
  • Assess the effectiveness of key controls relating to product governance, pricing, sales practices and customer communications.
  • Produce clear monitoring reports including root cause analysis and recommendations.
  • Track remedial actions through to completion and support continuous improvement across the business.
  • Contribute to reports and insights provided to senior leadership and governance committees.
  • Support regulatory frameworks and reporting requirements.
  • Assist with governance forum administration and tracking of key actions.

Skills & Experience

  • Strong understanding of UK regulatory frameworks including SM&CR, Consumer Duty, PRIN, ICOBS, CONC, SYSC and DISP.
  • Experience within a compliance advisory and/or monitoring role within financial services.
  • Excellent analytical, investigative and report writing skills.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to influence across the business.
  • Ability to interpret regulatory expectations and translate them into practical business guidance.
