Business Director - Global Legal, Risk and Compliance
Job Title: Senior Insurance Law & Regulatory Compliance Lawyer
Location: London City (Hybrid: 2–3 days in office)
Overview
A fast-growing, international specialist insurance group is seeking a Senior Insurance Law & Regulatory Compliance Lawyer to support its expanding global operations. The organisation operates across multiple jurisdictions, offering complex insurance and intermediary services, and is in a phase of significant strategic growth.

* Develop a global regulatory and legal change monitoring framework, coordinating expertise across regions and functions.
* Provide specialist insurance law advice, including support with insurance and reinsurance wording reviews.
* Conduct legal assessments in areas such as sanctions, AML, and data privacy.
* Contribute to group-wide Legal & Compliance projects, initiatives and reporting.
About You
* Qualified lawyer with strong experience in insurance law, regulatory compliance and cross-border regulatory requirements.
* Knowledge of insurance distribution rules, policy structures, and regulatory risk areas.
* Able to work independently, manage projects, and engage senior stakeholders with confidence.
* Pragmatic, commercially aware, and solutions-focused.
What’s on Offer
* Senior role with global scope and meaningful influence over group frameworks.
* High autonomy and exposure to complex international work.
* Flexible hybrid working and improved work–life balance.
* Competitive package in a dynamic, growing insurance group.
