REQUIREMENTS

To be successful in this role, you’ll need experience of leading, coaching and motivating others within a busy, performance-focused environment. You should be comfortable setting expectations, monitoring performance, giving constructive feedback, and handling people matters fairly and professionally. You’ll also need excellent attention to detail, strong organisational and time-management skills, and the ability to interpret and apply procedures consistently. You should be confident identifying and resolving issues, making sound decisions and escalating more complex matters when appropriate. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as you’ll regularly provide guidance and updates to team members, managers, clients and other stakeholders. You’ll need to be approachable and supportive while remaining confident enough to challenge, influence and maintain high standards. Previous AML, regulatory compliance, data analysis, or audit experience would be highly beneficial, as would knowledge of the UK property industry or experience of working with estate agents, although candidates who demonstrate clear transferrable experiences from previous positions in their CV's ie, team and target supervision/management within a busy office, will be considered for interview. Most importantly, you’ll be a calm, conscientious and adaptable manager who can combine the technical demands of compliance with supportive and accountable team leadership.
