You will lead and manage a team of two Compliance Specialists. As a key partner to the wider Everest Compliance Function and senior business leaders, you will own and manage critical components of the UK compliance framework. You will leverage your in-depth, expert knowledge of the UK regulatory regime and London Market environment (including FCA, PRA and Lloyd’s), provide authoritative advice and guidance to the business, and drive a strong culture of compliance through effective challenge and partnership. This position will be based in our London office with a hybrid schedule that has the option of working two days remotely each week.

• Drive Regulatory Change Management: You will collaborate with the wider team on regulatory horizon scanning and provide strategic advice to senior leadership on the impact of upcoming changes. You will interpret new regulations and direct the implementation of any required updates to policies and procedures across impacted business areas.
• Manage the Annual Compliance Monitoring Plan: You will support the SMF16 role holders in developing and managing the Annual Compliance Monitoring Plan for both the Lloyd’s and Company platforms. You will ensure all monitoring activities are completed and highlight any findings, along with recommended remedial actions.
• Foster a Compliance Culture: You will act as a key strategic partner to business areas and senior stakeholders to embed and promote a strong risk and compliance culture across the organisation.
• Leadership and Mentorship: You will provide leadership, guidance, and mentorship to Compliance Specialists, supporting their professional development and ensuring the effective delivery of the compliance plan.

Qualifications: You will bring expert-level knowledge of the regulatory framework for UK insurance business, including the FCA, PRA and Lloyd’s requirements. You will have proven experience operating in a senior second-line function within a Company Market insurer and/or a Lloyd’s Managing Agent. You will also bring substantial experience in compliance, including time spent in senior or leadership roles.
