We are looking for:

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives, and we are particularly keen to hear from individuals with strong FCA regulatory compliance and consultancy expertise. Our ideal candidate will bring:

• Experience in FCA regulatory compliance, ideally gained within the UK financial services sector. You should have a good working understanding of key areas of the FCA Handbook – such as SYSC, PRIN (including Consumer Duty), COBS, ICOBS, CONC, and financial crime requirements – and be able to research, interpret, and apply these in a practical way with guidance.
• Some experience in a compliance, advisory, or consultancy‑related role, either within industry or a professional services environment. This may include supporting regulatory projects, preparing well‑structured deliverables, managing your own workload to meet deadlines, and working across different client or stakeholder environments.
• Practical exposure to core compliance activities, such as reviewing regulatory requirements, assisting with compliance monitoring, supporting thematic reviews, carrying out horizon‑scanning tasks, helping with regulatory mapping or gap analysis, and contributing to the drafting or improvement of compliance policies and procedures.
• An interest in understanding regulatory developments and the ability to translate findings into clear, actionable insights for colleagues or clients. Experience supporting work related to supervisory requests, remediation programmes, or readiness assessments would be beneficial, though not essential.
• A growing awareness of FCA priorities and emerging themes, with the ability to consider how these may impact firms. You should be comfortable supporting senior team members in developing proportionate and practical compliance solutions.
• A proactive, motivated, and organised approach, with the ability to handle multiple tasks, maintain quality, and adapt to changing priorities in a busy environment.
• General knowledge of the UK financial services sector and its regulatory environment, including familiarity with key regulatory bodies such as the FCA and PRA.
