No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Maintaining and enhancing the risk management and compliance monitoring frameworks
- Providing practical, commercial guidance to senior stakeholders and front-office teams
- Monitoring regulatory obligations, investment mandates, portfolio guidelines, and fund governance requirements
- Embedding effective controls, reporting, and risk awareness across the business
I’m keen to speak with senior risk and compliance professionals from wealth management, private banking, asset management environments. Strong enterprise / operational risk experience is essential, alongside sound knowledge of FCA requirements, compliance monitoring, AML/KYC frameworks, and investment risk. Exposure to UCITS structures, delegated portfolio management or fund governance is also required.
