ASAP START

Hybrid working - 1-2 days a week in the office

Are you a commercially minded compliance professional who’s comfortable in the grey? I’m working with a leading UK fintech that’s building next-gen banking infrastructure — and they’re looking for a Senior Compliance Manager to support a high-priority, fast-moving initiative.

What’s this about?

This is not your typical BAU compliance role.

You’ll be embedded in a handpicked, cross-functional team tasked with launching a new proposition aimed at corporate clients and non-regulated entities — think of it as a pilot unit, operating at speed, where you’ll help build the compliance framework from scratch.

Your focus:

• Own and rework compliance standards for a brand-new proposition
• Translate regulatory obligations into practical guidance (not blockers!)
• Be the key point of contact between the compliance function and build team
• Understand the nuances of tech and different client types
• Track changes, redraft procedures, and support go-to-market activity
• Influence stakeholders including the CCO

You’ll need to bring good judgement, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to operate with ambiguity — they want someone agile, low-ego, and positive. Someone who can “hold the pen” while the business moves fast.

Must have:

• Strong understanding of FCA/PRA regs, including Payments Services Regs, BCOBS, SMCR, Consumer Duty, and more
• Experience in fintech, challenger bank, or fast-paced reg environment
• A track record in building or adapting compliance frameworks
• A commercial mindset: understanding how to enable, not restrict
• Comfort working on propositions targeting non-regulated corporates
• Strong communication skills and great judgement

This is a rare chance to join a small, high-trust team and shape something from day one - with the potential to carve out a long-term role as the proposition scales.
