About Invest Engine:
Invest Engine is everything the modern investor should need. Unbeatable value, market-leading automation, and built for easy, long-term investing. We’ve built a strong foundation, have over £2 billion invested, award-winning service, and a passionate team, now we’re ready to scale.

About The Role:

We’re looking for a Head of Compliance Advisory to join our Compliance team. You’ll be working on leading the Invest Engine's compliance advisory function — providing real‑time regulatory guidance across teams and ensuring we innovate safely while meeting FCA expectations and strong customer outcomes. You’ll also lead and develop a team of compliance advisors, setting clear standards for quality, consistency, and responsiveness.

This role is ideal for someone who’s pragmatic, customer-centric, and confident using expert judgement, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance in a fast‑moving environment. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Operations leads, Marketing, Investments, Treasury, Legal, and senior stakeholders, and have the autonomy to shape advisory approaches end to end — from early‑stage change input and financial promotions oversight to training and compliance culture uplift.

• Lead the compliance advisory function, setting standards for quality, consistency, prioritisation, and delivery across the business
• Provide timely and actionable regulatory advice within agreed SLAs to enable compliant decision‑making at pace
• Advise Product, Operations, Marketing, Investments, and Treasury on regulatory risks across customer journeys, onboarding, suitability, and communications
• Guide complex complaint scenarios and escalation points, ensuring responses meet DISP and Consumer Duty expectations
• Partner with teams early in change initiatives to identify regulatory risks before build and reduce downstream remediation
• Develop and coach a team of compliance advisors, building capability and reinforcing a strong compliance culture

• 8+ years of experience in fintech and regulated environments, with retail investor sector experience (e.g., investment platforms, wealth/investing products), and senior‑level compliance advisory responsibility
• Proven experience leading or managing a compliance advisory team, setting standards and direction
• Strong FCA regulatory interpretation skills, translating rules and guidance into evidence‑based advice
• Deep expertise in Consumer Duty, customer communications, and conduct risk — including DISP‑compliant complaints advisory
• Extensive experience overseeing financial promotions and influencer/finfluencer activity, aligned with FCA expectations, COBS, and internal policy
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence effectively across different levels of the organisation
• Strong delivery focus and prioritisation skills, managing workload and team capacity to consistently meet agreed SLAs and business priorities
• English fluency (C1 level and above) — we are a UK‑based company, and the role involves regular communication with the team

• Experience delivering practical, engaging compliance training for frontline teams
• Background in high‑growth start‑ups

We’re a lean, fast‑moving team that values clarity, ownership, and transparency. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, the responsibility to follow through, and the backing of a team that values clear thinking and open dialogue. We believe in solving problems at the root, not just treating the symptoms.

• Impact from day one:
  You’ll take on meaningful work from the start, tackling real challenges that drive the stability, efficiency, and growth of our business.
• Room to grow:
  As we scale, you’ll have opportunities to expand your responsibilities, influence how we work, and help shape our long‑term direction.
• Transparent and open culture:
  We share decisions openly, keep communication channels clear, and encourage collaboration across every part of the business.
• Supportive, high‑calibre team:
