HR Business Partner / Senior HRBP – SM&CR Focus | Wealth Management
London
We're recruiting for a strategic, regulatory-aligned HRBP / Senior HRBP to join a well-established wealth management firm, with a strong emphasis on SM&CR ownership. Reporting to the Group Head of HR, you'll sit at the centre of HR's regulatory operating rhythm.
SM&CR — this is where you'll spend real time:
🔹 Joint (dual) ownership of the SM&CR framework with Compliance
🔹 Oversee Certification, Fit & Proper assessments, and Conduct Rules training
🔹 Own SMF/CR documentation end-to-end
🔹 Produce SM&CR MI for ExCo, Risk Committee and Board
🔹 Embed SM&CR processes across the full employee lifecycle
🔹 Work closely with T&C to keep competence frameworks, CPD and supervision MI aligned to SM&CR and MiFIDPRU
Beyond SM&CR, you'll also:
✅ Act as trusted advisor to senior leaders — org design, workforce planning, succession
✅ Lead the People Strategy across your business areas
✅ Provide strategic ER guidance on complex, senior-level cases
✅ Support MiFIDPRU people-risk and remuneration governance, including variable pay design
✅ Lead HR policy review against TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT and employment law
✅ Support compensation benchmarking, salary reviews and job evaluation
✅ Oversee the HR Administrator and drive candidate experience improvements
✅ Contribute to HR workstreams within transformation and regulatory change programmes
What we're looking for:
✅ Strong HRBP experience in a regulated environment — SM&CR essential
✅ Deep working knowledge of TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT
✅ Proven senior-level ER casework and stakeholder management
✅ Comfortable producing SM&CR/conduct/people-risk MI for governance committees
✅ CIPD Level 7 desirable
Why apply?
A genuinely regulation-embedded HR role — not HR-adjacent-to-compliance, but co-owning SM&CR with it — in a firm serious about governance, with real influence at ExCo and Board level.
