We are representing our longstanding client on an exclusive basis to support them in hiring a Compliance Manager. Our client is a credit union located in Sheffield who provide a range of financial products to their members. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Compliance Manager to join a thriving, and growing organisation. Initially reporting into the Executive Director, full training will be provided.

This is a role that will develop and grow across the business – we are therefore looking to speak to ambitious individuals who already have solid experience within compliance, GDPR and fraud, but are looking for a long term and progressive role.

The Compliance Manager will be responsible for safeguarding the credit union by ensuring full adherence to all regulatory requirements across the business. Robust systems need to be developed to prevent, detect and respond to any fraud. The Compliance Manager will oversee all compliance frameworks, including ensuring full GDPR compliance, and support regulatory reporting. The successful role holder will also lead investigations into any suspected fraudulent activity.
