Senior Compliance Officer (Maternity Cover)

Join a firm that\’s ambitious, growing and delivering on groundbreaking work. Expect a flexible, diverse working environment where your long-term career growth is assured.

We build our business by enabling high performance and progression. Whatever your role, we give you the support, management and development you need to achieve your full potential.

Business services, paralegal and EA opportunities

We believe in growing our business in a number of ways. As well as focusing on developing our own people and ensuring a clear career path, we also recognise the additional skills and relationships which lateral hire partners can bring to the firm.

Whether to further deepen existing areas of strength or to bring a new specialism to the firm, we regularly meet informally with lateral candidates. We have considerable experience in lateral hiring and feel that we know what makes for a successful hire – whether that’s our cards on the table approach or our focus on integration post hire. Either way, our retention rates for our lateral joiners are exceptional.

Our wellbeing strategy for partners and employees focuses on preventative measures to maintain our overall health, and tools and support for when we experience physical or mental difficulties. The strategy focuses on four pillars: physical, emotional, financial and social aspects.

If you are a senior lawyer with a strong portfolio of clients and looking to join a firm that is experiencing consistently strong growth, please contact us in confidence to talk through a move to Stephenson Harwood.
