The Compliance Policy and Advice team plays a key role in supporting the Group to deliver fair customer outcomes and meet conduct regulatory requirements. Acting as both Trusted Advisors and Critical Friends to the first line, the team identifies, interprets and tracks emerging regulation, providing clear, pragmatic advice and effective challenge to ensure regulatory and conduct risks are considered in all decision-making.
We have an opportunity to join the team on a FTC basis as a Senior Compliance Advisor to operate within a small, experienced and supportive team, offering exposure across all areas of compliance and the opportunity to work independently. The role involves providing second‑line oversight and practical advice on conduct and regulatory matters, translating complex FCA and Consumer Duty requirements into clear, practical guidance to support effective implementation across a broad range of products and services. It contributes to effective governance and the management of conduct risk, helping to ensure good customer outcomes and the prevention of foreseeable harm through proportionate, well‑controlled activity. The position provides regular exposure to senior leaders and the chance to influence at a strategic level. The Senior Compliance Advisor will establish themselves as a trusted subject matter expert, lead regulatory interpretation on new and emerging conduct requirements, support key projects and initiatives, and produce high-quality written outputs while working confidently under pressure and to deadlines.
We operate on a team-led hybrid approach with at least 1 day a quarter in the Coventry & / or Manchester office.
