About this opportunity
No day in Conduct, Compliance and Operational Risk (CCOR) is the same.

We're a diverse group of people, who come from many different backgrounds. Whilst we celebrate these differences, we share a common vision to offer new insight, support and challenge to senior management.
CCOR provides independent assurance to the Board and GEC, that the control framework is effective, and that the Group takes reasonable steps to comply with its regulatory obligations.
We're looking for a Head of FCA Regulatory Affairs to ensure successful delivery of the Group’s Regulatory Strategy. This role acts as a central point of contact for regulators, serving as conduit for identifying, escalating, and mitigating areas of regulatory risk.
