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.
