We are working with a leading London-based law firm to hire a Senior Compliance Assistant to join their Compliance function.
In this role, you’ll act as the operational backbone of a busy in-house compliance team, owning workflows, managing key monitoring processes, and serving as the first point of contact for firmwide compliance queries. You’ll work closely with senior compliance lawyers and leadership to ensure regulatory and data protection standards are consistently embedded across the business, while helping the team operate efficiently and effectively.
The firm is looking for an experienced administrator or operations professional with a strong track record in complex, fast-paced environments. Prior compliance experience is not essential for exceptional candidates, but a genuine interest in risk, regulation, and internal service delivery within a law firm is important.
The responsibilities will include:
• Acting as the initial contact for compliance and data protection queries, triaging and resolving issues where appropriate
• Managing and reporting on key compliance monitoring processes and maintaining accurate registers
• Preparing monthly and quarterly compliance reports, including trend analysis and recommendations
• Coordinating and supporting the firm’s central audit programme and acting as the main liaison for fee earners
• Producing and coordinating internal compliance updates, guidance, and communications
• Managing diaries, meetings, and team coordination for the compliance function
• Supporting the rollout of new compliance initiatives, policies, and technology
• Providing administrative, research, and project support across the wider risk and compliance team
They are looking for someone highly organised, confident handling sensitive information, and comfortable working with senior stakeholders. Strong communication skills, sound judgement, and the ability to manage competing priorities under pressure will be key to success in this role.
