"Who are Admiral Pioneer?
Disruptive. Customer Centered. Transformational.
Admiral Pioneer exists within Admiral Group as a venture studio, providing the greenhouse in which to grow new businesses. We’re leveraging Admiral’s strengths to deliver commercially strong businesses that answer the financial needs of new audiences and respond to emerging opportunities.
We seek to disrupt the markets we enter, taking a truly customer-centric approach. We achieve this by experimenting and proving new products, business models and partnerships through a disciplined, discovery-driven approach.
The Role
Admiral Pioneer is on a mission to build the next generation of insurance propositions—smart, scalable, and customer-centric. As our Senior Compliance Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of this transformation, ensuring our bold ideas are backed by robust, proportionate compliance oversight across both UK (FCA) and Gibraltar (GFSC) regulatory landscapes.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with direct access to the Admiral Pioneer Board and senior leadership. We’re looking for someone entrepreneurial, commercially savvy, and pragmatic—someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to balance speed with precision.
What You’ll Be Driving
- Craft and execute a forward-thinking 12-month compliance plan aligned with Admiral Pioneer and Group frameworks.
- Build trusted relationships with Senior Managers and Board members, becoming their go-to advisor on emerging compliance challenges.
- Lead with expertise in dual regulation (FCA & GFSC), offering clear, actionable guidance.
- Champion a risk-based approach that supports rapid innovation without compromising integrity.
- Embed governance and compliance into our DNA—from product design to culture.
- Deliver thematic reviews that spotlight best practices and unlock efficiencies.
- Provide sharp, insightful reporting to the Head of Risk & Compliance, RMC, and Board.
- Keep Group functions informed and assured on Pioneer’s compliance posture.
- Stay ahead of regulatory change and translate complexity into clarity for the business.
Your Impact
- Own and evolve the compliance plan to meet the needs of a growing, agile business.
- Offer pragmatic, risk-aligned advice that enables smart decision-making.
- Foster a culture of accountability and governance across all teams.
- Maintain strong, influential relationships with senior stakeholders.
- Use flexible methods—workshops, reviews, root cause analysis—to drive continuous improvement.
- Support regulatory submissions and liaise confidently with FCA and GFSC.
What you'll bring
- Experienced with Gibraltar regulation and the GFSC.
- Deep understanding of FCA expectations and regulatory nuance.
- Energised by start-up and scale-up environments—comfortable with ambiguity and pace.
- A strategic thinker with a pragmatic, risk-based mindset.
- Influential and persuasive, with a knack for building consensus.
- Independent, proactive, and collaborative—ready to lead and support.
- Analytical, detail-driven, and commercially aware.
- Experienced in regulatory submissions and stakeholder engagement.
- Entrepreneurial at heart—excited to build from the ground up.
