Senior Regulatory & Compliance Manager
Location: WFH Remote (UK-based) with occasional travel
Reports to: Head of Risk
Contract: Permanent
Salary: £80-85k plus bonus and bens.
The Context

This organisation delivers national infrastructure and service programmes that sit at the crossroads of finance, construction, and community access. It operates in a heavily regulated space, which makes for a fascinating challenge: navigating complex rules while keeping delivery agile and human.

That means risk and compliance aren’t back-office functions here. They’re the connective tissue between policy, operations, and trust.

Why This Role Matters

1. Compliance Advisory: This isn’t about saying “no” — it’s advising leaders of an expanding business on regulatory compliance and risk.
2. Framework: It’s about mapping and horizon scanning key regulatory impacts.

You’ll bring structure and confidence to a fast-moving organisation that needs clear, practical regulatory guidance, not theory.

It’s hands-on, visible, and high impact. You’ll be the person the business turns to when the right answer isn’t obvious, and time is short.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Design, own, and evolve the regulatory and compliance framework — policies, registers, MI, and reporting that work in practice.
• Lead horizon scanning to identify and interpret new or emerging regulations.
• Support and deputise for the Head of Risk.
• Advise the business on regulatory boundaries — what’s permissible, what’s not, and what’s open to discussion.
• Lead on areas like Building regs, Consumer Duty, Vulnerable Customers, Health and Safety, and Operational Resilience.
• Manage relationships with key stakeholders, including the FCA, auditors, and delivery partners.
• Prepare clear, concise Board and ExCo reports that inform decisions.
• Coach first-line teams to understand and manage their own compliance risks.

Who You Are

You’re someone who sees regulation as a framework for good decision-making, not red tape. You’re confident, pragmatic, and curious — equally at home explaining risk to a project manager or a board member.

You’ll likely have:

• Experience in Regulatory Compliance or Risk within a regulated or quasi-regulated organisation. Ideally, Financial Services and/or Buildings Construction,
• The ability to interpret and apply regulations proportionately.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with a knack for building trust fast.
• Confidence to give a view when it’s needed.
• An analytical yet people-focused mindset — detail-driven but commercially aware.

And, the more experience you have of the following, the better, though this is not an exhaustive list, as it’s about aptitude in a regulatory environment that’s key…

1. Direct experience with the Property and Construction regs:

• General health & safety duties, (CDM 2015, HSWA 1974 + MHSWR 1999),
• fire and building safety, (Fire Safety Order + Building Safety Act),
• design and construction standards (Building Regulations),
• legacy materials and site hazards (Asbestos / Environmental / Waste),
• Occupiers’ Liability

2. Direct experience with the Financial Conduct Authority regs:

• Regulatory mapping & defined service scope (FSMA Perimeter),
• Outsourcing (SYSC 8),
• Operational Resilience and BCP (SYSC 15A),
• Consumer Duty,
• Data and Confidentiality (GDPR),
• Conduct and Governance.
• Exposure to consumer protection, operational resilience, or infrastructure delivery.

Mindset

• Purpose-driven: You want your work to matter.
• Curious: You ask questions others don’t.
• Inclusive: You listen first, decide second.
• Decisive: You don’t wait for perfect information.
• Growth-minded: You learn fast and help others do the same.

Why You Might Love It

This is a role where knowledge and judgment, not bureaucracy, are the differentiators. You’ll shape policy as much as interpret it, influence at senior levels, and see the impact of your work in real time.

Senior Auditor – Internal Audit & Risk Assurance
Location: Multiple UK Locations
Contract: Full-Time
Salary: Competitive + Benefits

What if your next audit role gave you more than just a portfolio of clients?
If it gave you access to complex challenges in financial services and beyond —while still offering the freedom to grow, to learn, and to have your voice heard, would you be interested?

We’re working with a global consultancy that doesn’t just deliver audits—it shapes how clients think about risk, resilience, and opportunity. They’re looking for Senior Auditors who want to move beyond checklists and frameworks, and into work that actually influences decisions at the board level.

This isn’t just about following methodology. It’s about understanding where the real risks live, how to challenge stakeholders with credibility, and how to guide clients toward solutions that stick.

What you’ll be doing
Leading and delivering audits and assurance reviews across regulated industries—financial services, fintech, and insurance, among them
Helping scope and shape engagements so they’re focused on what matters most
Building trust with senior stakeholders while surfacing insights that drive action
Coaching juniors and creating an environment where learning is shared, not siloed
Flexing between on-site, hybrid, or remote work—depending on your clients and your preferences

Who you are
Professionally qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIA, IIA or equivalent), with at least 1–3 years of experience
Confident in internal audit or risk assurance, ideally gained in consultancy /professional services (perhaps you’ve then moved to the financial services industry in a risk / compliance / audit role, this would be a big plus)
Experienced, or at least highly interested, in financial services—banking, insurance, asset management
A strong communicator who can win trust quickly and explain technical issues simply
Willing to travel occasionally within the UK when it adds value

What’s on offer
Work with a respected consultancy known for integrity, innovation, and inclusive leadership
Structured career development and mentoring, plus technical training to keep you ahead of the curve
Flexible working that respects your life outside of work
The chance to influence—not just report. To be listened to—not overlooked.

Here’s the real question: do you want your next audit role to be another rung on the ladder, or the move that lets you reshape how you’re seen as a professional?

Partner-level roles are open to those who want to deliver, with proven examples of individuals being fast-tracked to Manager, Senior Manager, and junior Partner.
If it’s the latter, this is worth a conversation.
