  • Lead regulatory horizon scanning and assess the impact of regulatory changes on the business.
  • Develop and maintain the Compliance Monitoring Plan.
  • Oversee financial crime risk assessments and the effectiveness of associated controls.
  • Act as the organisation's Data Protection Officer, overseeing UK GDPR and data protection compliance.
  • Oversee DPIAs, data subject rights requests, data breaches, third-party data processors and the firm's data protection governance framework.
  • Prepare and present regular Compliance, AML, Financial Crime and Data Protection reports to senior management, the Risk Committee and Board.
  • Prepare the annual MLRO report and relevant regulatory reporting.
  • Support the organisation's SMCR framework and ensure compliance with Senior Manager Conduct Rules.
  • Lead, develop and mentor the compliance team, fostering a strong culture of regulatory compliance and financial crime risk awareness.
