About Us
We are a forward-thinking, market-leading collective services provider specialising in property management, building surveying, and statutory back-office compliance solutions. We are exceptionally proud to have been voted as one of the "Great Places to Work UK" for the last 5 consecutive years, reflecting our deep commitment to our people, our culture, and our duty of care.
As an established business undergoing an exciting period of growth and expanding our footprint within a wider international group, we are looking to strategically scale our compliance function. This is a fantastic opportunity for either an established Director looking for a new challenge or a high-performing Head of / Senior Compliance Manager ready to make that definitive step up into a strategic board-level role.
The Role
As the Director of Compliance, you will hold ultimate accountability for the strategic direction of our group compliance frameworks, ensuring we remain at the forefront of legislative changes and industry best practice. This is a unique opportunity to shape the department, with the autonomy to build, interview, and recruit your own team of Inspectors and Administrators to support the group's expanding portfolio.
This position is fully remote / home-based. However, given the nature of our primary client and asset base, you should ideally be located within a reasonable commuting distance of London for key stakeholder meetings and portfolio reviews.
Key Responsibilities:
* Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute the group-wide compliance strategy and risk reporting framework to protect people, assets, and stakeholders.
* Regulatory Compliance: Act as the ultimate subject matter expert on statutory obligations, with a meticulous focus on the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Act.
* Team Growth & Mentor-ship: Line-manage, coach, and build out the compliance team, overseeing performance reviews, well-being, and continuous development.
* Commercial Oversight: Drive revenue opportunities through compliant service delivery while controlling departmental costs, forecasting requirements, and managing budgets.
* Industry Collaboration: Work closely with senior managers and key industry bodies (such as RICS and The Property Institute - TPI) to influence safety culture and implement structured audit programmes.
What We Are Looking For:
* Qualifications: You must be CMIOSH or MIFSML qualified. Ideally, you will hold a Level 6 NEBOSH Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety and/or a Level 4 FPA European Diploma in Fire Risk Management.
* Sector Experience: Robust, broad experience within Property Management, residential leasehold, or block management services is essential.
* Financial Acumen: Proven ability to interpret financial data and work with forecasting models.
* Communication & Influence: Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with a track record of influencing stakeholders at a senior executive level.
What's on Offer:
* Highly competitive Senior Management base salary.
* Performance-related Bonus Scheme.
* Fully Home-Based working.
* No company car, but full expenses paid for all business travel and overnight accommodation when required.
* The opportunity to set up, grow, and truly own a critical department within an award-winning business
