Head of Compliance General Insurance

Location:

Manchester (Office-based) Salary: £75k - £85k + bonus + benefits What’s in it for you?

Your first Head of Compliance role, that’s what.

And a clear path to the SMF
16 role when you’re ready.

It’s been a frustrating market for anyone looking to step up into a Head of Compliance role, with most employers tending to replace like with like, focusing on those already experienced at this level.

But this forward-thinking client sees this position as an ideal opportunity for you to make that step up.

You’ll be reporting into a very highly respected Chief Risk & Compliance Officer who’ll provide you with all the support you need to be successful.

Come in as Head of Compliance, without the added responsibility of the SMF
16 function.

And then take on the SMF
16 position when you’re happy and ready to do so.

Yes, you can have your cake and eat it!

Working for an established, successful Insurer and managing a small team of 5, you’ll be responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining a future-proof compliance framework that actively enables strategic, compliant growth.

You’ll design and oversee a proportionate Compliance Monitoring Plan and will provide oversight of Consumer Duty, including outcomes testing and Board reporting.

You’ll advise on any regulatory change and support any appropriate implementation across the business.

You’ll also act as the primary point of contact for the FCA and PRA, including submissions, notifications and supervisory engagement.

You’ll be an experienced Compliance Manager from the Insurance arena, with a strong working knowledge of relevant regulations including ICOBS, PROD, SYSC, DISP and Consumer Duty.

You’ll have a proven track record of managing and developing small teams and will be able to demonstrate the ability to act as a trusted and pragmatic business partner with experience of successfully challenging senior management as and when required.

Experience of working with the PRA would be advantageous.

Please note this is a fully office based role and so you must be able to commute into the firm's Head Office in Manchester City Centre 5 days a week.
