Senior-level autonomy. Genuine work-life balance.
This is a senior compliance opportunity with a difference.
We are partnering exclusively with a highly regarded UK law firm, who is looking for a
Head of Conflicts & Financial Crime Compliance.
The biggest attractions?
Autonomy and work-life balance.
You’ll be trusted to lead your area, make decisions and shape how the function operates – without layers of management or unnecessary bureaucracy.
And while this is a senior and important role, the firm has a genuinely refreshing approach to work-life balance. They want somebody excellent at what they do – they don't expect work to consume their life.
You’ll lead the firm's conflicts, client onboarding, AML and financial crime compliance function, manage the Case & Conflicts Team and act as the firm's MLRO.
You’ll also work closely with partners and senior leadership, advising on complex conflicts, AML, sanctions, high-risk clients and wider financial crime matters.
Who are we looking for?
- You could be a qualified lawyer or an experienced compliance professional.
- You'll need law firm experience across conflicts, client onboarding, AML and financial crime compliance, alongside previous experience as an MLRO or Deputy MLRO.
- More than anything, you'll be somebody with the confidence, judgement and experience to take ownership of the function and run it properly, with the freedom to make it your own.
If you're looking for a senior compliance role offering genuine influence and autonomy – while still maintaining a life outside of work – this is an opportunity well worth exploring.
