  • Data Protection: Oversee GDPR compliance and other data protection-related requirements.
  • AML Compliance: Develop and maintain anti-money laundering controls and processes.
  • Monitoring and Analysis: Conduct compliance monitoring activities and provide analysis to identify and mitigate risks effectively.

Candidate Requirements

  • Experience: Retail general insurance regulatory experience is essential.
  • Skills: Strong knowledge of FCA regulations and the ability to provide practical, business-focused compliance advice.
  • Stakeholder Management: Confident working with and influencing senior stakeholders, including Executive Committee members.
  • Collaboration: A proven ability to work across diverse teams and functions, providing tailored compliance support.
  • Drive: An ambition to step into a leadership role and take ownership of the compliance function.

Working Arrangements

  • The role is based in Reading, which is commutable from London (20 minutes by train, plus a short walk).
  • The expectation is to be in the office one day per week, with the rest of the time working from home.

Benefits

  • Base Salary: £80,000 – £100,000
  • Additional Benefits: Bonus and pension contribution

Why Join?

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced regulatory compliance professional from the insurance market to join a supportive and dynamic team, while gaining invaluable leadership experience in a Head of Compliance capacity.
