Compliance Assurance Contractor An insurance Clientis seeking an experienced compliance assurance contractor to join its Group Compliance Assurance team for a fixed three-month period.
The role is required to deliver defined second line assurance reviews within this timeframe, with a primary focus on completing allocated reviews to the required assurance standard.
The successful candidate will be highly experienced, autonomous and able to operate with limited guidance, producing clear, evidence-led outputs suitable for senior stakeholders.
Purpose of the Role Deliver allocated compliance monitoring reviews within the three-month engagement period.
Take ownership of the end-to-end review process: planning, evidence requests, testing, stakeholder engagement, findings development and report drafting.
Provide robust second line assurance over key regulatory and conduct risk areas, focusing on customer outcomes, fair value, governance, oversight and control effectiveness.
Operate independently and at pace, using existing review methodology and internal documentation standards, with limited day-to-day guidance from the permanent team.
Produce clear, evidenced and proportionate assurance outputs that support management understanding of key risks, control gaps, customer impact and practical next steps.
Key Deliverables Completion of the assigned review within the contract period, without extension or reliance on significant additional internal resource.
Approved review scopes and testing approaches that are proportionate, risk-based and aligned to the agreed compliance monitoring methodology.
Completed testing, evidence review and working papers maintained to a standard that supports robust second line assurance conclusions.
Draft and final reports setting out key findings, ratings where applicable, customer outcome considerations, root cause observations, agreed management actions and due dates.
Regular, concise progress updates to the Senior Group Compliance Assurance Manager, including early escalation of delivery risks, stakeholder delays or evidence gaps.
Required Skills and Experience Strong insurance sector experience, ideally including general insurance, motor products, ancillary products, product governance, customer outcomes and FCA conduct regulation.
Practical experience of compliance monitoring, second line assurance, audit or risk-based review activity, including scoping, testing, evidence assessment and report writing.
Good understanding of Consumer Duty expectations, fair value requirements, customer journey assessment and evidencing good customer outcomes.
Ability to work autonomously and manage competing priorities within a short delivery window.
Confident stakeholder engagement skills, including requesting evidence, challenging constructively and agreeing practical management actions.
Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce balanced, senior-ready assurance reporting.
High attention to detail and sound judgement when interpreting evidence, assessing control effectiveness and identifying conduct or customer outcome risks.
Working Style and Expectations Able to onboard quickly, understand the review requirements and begin delivery with minimal lead-in.
A self-starter who can work independently, organise their own workload, progress evidence requests and escalate issues promptly.
Expected to use existing compliance monitoring templates, governance routes and reporting standards, rather than develop a new methodology.
Given the fixed timeframe, delivery discipline, clear communication and timely escalation will be essential.
