Compliance Advisory Manager

I’m currently working with a UK specialist financial services business that is looking to appoint an experienced Compliance Advisory Manager to join its growing Compliance function.

This is a highly visible, business-facing second line role, providing regulatory advice, constructive challenge and practical guidance across products, customer journeys and wider business activities.

Hybrid – 3 days office / 2 days home

The role

You’ll act as a trusted Compliance adviser to the business, helping ensure regulatory requirements, conduct expectations and good customer outcomes are embedded into decision‑making.

Key areas will include:

• Providing second line Compliance advice and constructive challenge across mortgages, consumer credit and savings/deposit products
• Advising on FCA regulation, Consumer Duty, conduct risk, product governance, complaints, vulnerable customers and financial promotions
• Interpreting regulatory requirements and translating them into practical, commercially focused advice
• Reviewing and challenging policies, procedures, customer journeys, controls and operational processes
• Reviewing and approving financial promotions and customer communications
• Supporting product development, business change and customer outcome assessments
• Identifying emerging regulatory and conduct risks and supporting proportionate mitigation
• Preparing regulatory analysis, impact assessments, Compliance opinions and governance papers
• Supporting regulatory interactions, thematic reviews and remediation activity
• Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and providing effective challenge where required
• Contributing to Compliance training, awareness and the continued development of the Compliance function

You’ll ideally have:

• Significant Compliance experience within a UK regulated financial services environment
• Strong second line Compliance Advisory experience
• Good knowledge of FCA regulation, Consumer Duty and conduct risk
• Experience across areas such as MCOB, CONC, BCOBS, DISP, PRIN, PROD and financial promotions
• Experience supporting Product Governance, product development and customer outcomes
• Strong experience reviewing and approving financial promotions
• The ability to interpret complex regulation and provide pragmatic, commercially aware advice
• Confidence providing challenge while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships
• Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills

Experience within a retail bank, specialist lender or consumer finance business would be particularly relevant.

Professional Compliance qualifications such as ICA, CISI or equivalent would also be beneficial.
