Senior Compliance Manager

Senior Compliance Manager 

We are looking for a Senior Compliance manager to provide international support. You will be reporting to the Group Head of Compliance in the UK but spend a large part of your time supporting Compliance teams across the Group, initially focussed on the European insurers and intermediaries. 

As an international insurance business, we have offices across the globe. We are a relatively new team that supports and oversees the various entities in the Group and have a great mix of experience in the team to be able to help colleagues and businesses when they need us.

The ability to quickly understand regulations in different countries is important, as well as working with a diverse group of people who often do not have English as their first language, although foreign language skills are not essential for the role.

Monitoring experience is highly desired, along with the ability to interact with senior management and people at all levels of the organisation, with the aim of supporting and improving the Compliance environment in each company in the Group.
