• Experience preparing clear, high-quality reports, management information and papers for senior management and governance forums.

• The ability to support and guide colleagues, sharing knowledge and providing practical advice across the Compliance team.

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Support regulatory engagement with Lloyd's, the PRA, the FCA and other relevant regulators, ensuring regulatory requirements are effectively managed and embedded.

• Provide second-line compliance advice, oversight and challenge across the generalist compliance agenda, including conduct, Consumer Duty, complaints, regulatory change, breaches and notifications, SMCR, policies and training.

• Oversee service company arrangements, regulatory obligations and delegated responsibilities, assessing the effectiveness of local compliance controls.

• Coordinate regulatory reviews and submissions, identifying and managing regulatory risks across the managing agent and its service companies.
