If you’re looking for a role where you can drive real impact, shape regulatory outcomes, and improve customer experiences at scale, you’ll fit right in. Join a team that values collaboration, integrity and doing the right thing — while making a meaningful difference.
The Role
As a Regulated Complaints & FOS Manager, you’ll take ownership of all FCA-regulated and Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) complaints, ensuring they are handled fairly, consistently and in full compliance with FCA DISP requirements.
You’ll act as the key point of expertise for regulated complaints, while building a strong, proactive relationship with the Financial Ombudsman Service. Alongside this, you’ll use complaints data and insight to identify systemic issues, influence senior stakeholders, and drive improvements that enhance customer outcomes and reduce regulatory risk.
What You’ll Be Doing
Complaints Ownership & Regulatory Oversight
- Supporting and overseeing the end-to-end handling of FCA regulated complaints, ensuring all cases meet regulatory timeframes and quality standards.
- Acting as the single accountable owner for FOS responses, ensuring submissions are accurate, evidence-based and fully documented.
- Leading proactive engagement with the Financial Ombudsman Service, ensuring efficient case handling and organisational learning from outcomes.
Data, Insight & Governance
- Leading detailed complaints analysis to identify root causes, recurring drivers and emerging risk themes.
- Developing and maintaining complaints dashboards and MI, tracking trends, risks and key performance indicators.
Continuous Improvement & Business Impact
- Translating complaint insight into tangible improvements across processes, controls and customer journeys.
- Supporting the development of a data-driven complaints framework that reduces complaint volumes and mitigates regulatory, financial and reputational risk.
What You’ll Need
We’re looking for a confident, detail-focused regulatory specialist with strong judgement and the ability to influence at all levels.
You’ll need:
- Proven experience managing FCA-regulated complaints and FOS cases within financial services.
- Strong understanding of FCA DISP requirements and the Financial Ombudsman Service framework.
- Excellent investigative, analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify systemic risks.
- Strong ability to challenge, influence and provide independent regulatory judgement.
- Experience in root cause analysis and using complaints insight to drive operational improvements.
- Ability to manage multiple complex cases and deadlines with a high level of accuracy.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience working closely with Compliance and Risk functions.
- A customer-focused mindset with strong ethical decision-making and attention to fair outcomes.
