About The Role
Simplyhealth Funding Services (SFS) sits at the heart of our ambition to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone in the UK. As part of our growing financial services capability, SFS ensures we can offer simple, fair and compliant credit solutions that help customers access the care they need, when they need it.
As we expand our presence in UK healthcare funding, strong and proactive compliance oversight is critical. This role plays a central part in ensuring our partner distribution model, credit propositions and customer journeys are fully aligned to FCA expectations and our high internal standards.
As Compliance Manager (Funding Services), you’ll report to the Senior Compliance Manager and play a key leadership role within our compliance function - providing oversight, guidance and assurance across our appointed representative (AR) and introducer (IAR) network, financial promotions, products and governance reporting. You’ll help shape how Simplyhealth Funding Services grows safely and sustainably as we enter the next phase of our evolution.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll be a senior member of the compliance function responsible for delivering high‑quality oversight across SFS’ distribution partners, customer journeys and regulatory processes. You’ll play a hands‑on part in protecting customers, strengthening controls, and embedding a culture of good regulatory outcomes.
You’ll take ownership of day‑to‑day compliance operations, including supervising Compliance Advisory and Monitoring Consultants, providing technical guidance, and ensuring consistent and robust regulatory oversight. You’ll review escalated onboarding decisions, oversee monitoring outcomes, support remediation planning and lead reviews of customer communications and financial promotions.
You’ll also play a key role in governance - preparing board reports, MI and senior management updates, and supporting regulatory submissions or supervisory requests. This role requires sound judgement, strong regulatory expertise and the confidence to advise senior stakeholders on complex issues.
You’ll act as a trusted expert across the organisation - working with our SFS Operations team, Foundry innovation hub, risk teams, product leads and key distribution partners. You’ll ensure that as SFS scales, it does so safely, compliantly and with the right controls in place to support future growth and innovation.
