The Role
We are seeking to hire a Junior Compliance Associate to join our London office. This role will report into the Global Head of Core Compliance and hold primary responsibility for the day-to-day execution, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the Firm's policies and procedures framework.
This position requires a focus on high levels of accuracy, consistency, and organizational discipline. It requires a blend of strong writing ability, governance knowledge, and a proactive approach to document management and process improvement. In addition to the primary policies and procedures remit, this role will contribute to core compliance activities as part of a broader global compliance team and necessitates flexibility to support the wider compliance department with activities outside of the listed responsibilities.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end policy lifecycle – identifying gaps, drafting and editing documents in collaboration with policy owners, and maintaining a comprehensive, version-controlled policy library.
- Standardize language, structure, and formatting across the policy suite, ensuring consistent cross-document references and hyperlinks throughout the framework.
- Track document updates, manage review schedules, and ensure all changes are appropriately authorized, providing regular progress updates to management.
- Maximize the use of automation and AI to improve the efficiency and scalability of the policy management function.
- Contribute to core compliance activities as part of the global compliance team, including Code of Ethics monitoring, review and assessments.
- Be an integral and collaborative member of the London compliance team and broader global Compliance department.
