Compliance Policies

• Own the compliance policy framework, ensuring every policy is approved, communicated, rolled out to the team, and supported by documentary evidence of implementation.
• Policies in scope: Code of Conduct; Compliance Policy; Whistleblowing Policy and reporting procedures; Anti-Corruption Policy; Anti-Money Laundering Policy; Gifts and Invitations Policy; Travel and Expense Policy; Conflict of Interest, Confidentiality, and Chinese Walls Policy (including its communications plan); Procurement Policy; Third-Party Engagement and Due Diligence Policy.
• Allocate clear responsibilities for each policy and keep them current as the business and its obligations change.
• Act as the first point of contact for colleagues with policy questions or approvals, such as gifts, invitations, and potential conflicts of interest.

Third-Party Due Diligence

• Oversee due diligence on partners, suppliers, and other third parties, including verification of ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs), origin of funds, and screening.
• Advise on, and escalate, higher-risk third-party relationships before commitments are made.

Whistleblowing and Internal Investigations

• Own the whistleblowing channel, including receipt and handling of reports, confidentiality safeguards, and protection against retaliation.
• Lead or oversee internal investigations under the agreed protocol, managing conflicts of interest and following the agreed reporting and record-keeping requirements.
• Report on whistleblowing and investigation activity through the agreed governance and escalation routes.

Monitoring and Review

• Take part in, and increasingly lead, the Compliance Monitoring Committee and review meetings with clients.
• Maintain the compliance implementation status report and action tracker, and follow up open actions to closure.
• Monitor adherence to policies and identify improvements to the programme over time.

Training and Compliance Culture

• Oversee the compliance training programme for directors, management, and staff, tailored to the customer's day-to-day operations.
• Make sure attendance is recorded and the effectiveness of training is checked.
• Build a culture where people feel able to ask questions and raise concerns, being a visible and approachable adviser to colleagues in both London and Madrid.

Working with the External Compliance Advisor

• Act as the day-to-day counterpart to the external advisor during 2026, ensuring deliverables are practical, proportionate, and ready for approval.
• Take ownership of each deliverable as it is completed, so that the programme is run in-house once the advisor's engagement ends.
