Senior Compliance Manager / Compliance Advisory Contractor
Financial Services | Regulatory Change, Governance & Frameworks
ASAP Start Date
Inside IR35
Initial 3-Month Contract
I am currently looking for an experienced compliance contractor to join a regulated financial services business and immediately take ownership of key compliance activities.
This is not a role for someone who has spent the last few years solely focused on AML, financial crime, transaction reporting, compliance monitoring, auditing, testing, or large-scale transformation programmes. I am looking for someone who can confidently step into a busy environment, operate with minimal supervision, and take ownership of compliance frameworks, governance, regulatory change, and advisory responsibilities from day one.
Responsibilities
- Own and enhance the compliance framework.
- Lead regulatory horizon scanning and impact assessments.
- Translate regulatory developments into practical business actions.
- Draft, update, and maintain policies, standards, and procedures.
- Provide day-to-day compliance advisory support to stakeholders.
- Support governance forums and committee reporting.
- Identify framework and control gaps and drive remediation activity.
- Partner with Risk, Legal, and business teams to ensure regulatory requirements are embedded appropriately.
- Support implementation of regulatory change initiatives across the business.

Not Suitable For
This role is unlikely to be suitable if your background is primarily:
- AML / Financial Crime.
- KYC / CDD.
- Transaction Reporting.
- Regulatory Reporting.
- Compliance Monitoring only.
- Internal Audit.
- Testing & Assurance.
- Programme Management.
- Regulatory Change Project Management without hands-on compliance ownership.
