Senior Conduct & Compliance Manager
We’re DF Capital – a specialist bank providing award-winning commercial finance, retail finance, and savings products to consumers and small businesses.
Based in Manchester, we serve thousands of customers across the UK and into Europe, supporting their ambitions with tailored financial solutions.
We help our customers realise their ambitions by doing things differently – combining the agility and innovation of a specialist lender with the security and service standards of a regulated bank. Whether it’s flexible lending structures or straightforward savings options, we focus on what matters most to our customers.
In 2025, we launched DF Capital Retail Finance – a subsidiary of DF Capital Bank Limited – to offer specialist hire purchase solutions to retail customers.
Our goal is simple: to do the absolute best for our customers, our communities, and each other.
YOUR NEW ROLE: Due to our current size and growth ambitions this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is experienced in conducting compliance monitoring reviews on both a thematic and routine basis in a financial services firm. You will be responsible for providing business functions with quality and timely advice on compliance with FCA regulations, provide ongoing oversight and reporting on the compliance position. You will champion delivering good consumer outcomes and will support on the advice and oversight of our developing consumer lending hire purchase proposition - enabling risk-owners to ensure compliance and good customer outcomes are achieved. You will have high levels of autonomy, enabling you to make decisions about the right way to do things. This role involves a variety of subjects and initiatives allowing you to work dynamically, and broaden your breadth of experience.
