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.
Interested, or know an HRBP with strong SM&CR credentials? Get in touch or send your CV.
