Compliance Officer (Generalist) – £100k + Benefits – Investment Office (London)
A global investment office is looking to hire a Compliance Officer for its London team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing, collaborative compliance function within a well-established organisation managing over $50bn in assets on behalf of institutional and UHNW clients.
This Compliance Officer is a broad generalist role spanning advisory, regulatory development, monitoring, and elements of financial crime — offering the chance to work in a fast-paced environment with exposure across the UK and wider jurisdictions.
You’ll be joining at a key point of growth and play a central role in helping shape the firm’s compliance approach.
The role is ideally suited to someone with solid experience across core compliance areas within asset or wealth management, who is ready to step into a high-impact, globally connected role.
Compliance Officer Key Responsibilities:
* Provide advice and guidance on UK and EU regulatory frameworks, including MiFID II, AIFMD, Market Abuse Regulation, and other relevant regimes
* Contribute to internal compliance monitoring, regulatory reporting, and policy development
* Play a key role in financial crime prevention, including AML, CTF, sanctions, and anti-bribery oversight
* Liaise with the FCA and other regulatory bodies as required
* Support cross-border compliance initiatives in partnership with colleagues in other regions
* Assist with compliance training and awareness across business lines
* Input into governance and committee reporting, where relevant
What We’re Looking For:
* Circa 7 years' experience in a compliance role, ideally within asset management, wealth management, or a similarly regulated buy-side firm
* Strong understanding of UK and European regulatory frameworks and how they apply in practice
* Experience working across both advisory and monitoring aspects of compliance
* Solid exposure to financial crime frameworks — particularly AML and sanctions
* Able to communicate effectively across all levels of the business
* Proactive, commercially minded, and confident managing multiple workstreams
This Compliance Officer is a genuinely broad compliance role in a firm known for its inclusive, collaborative culture and strong global platform. The compliance team works closely with senior leadership and other global offices, giving you the chance to build experience across a wide range of topics and jurisdictions. There’s also a clear pathway for future growth and progression for someone ready to step into a more senior, high-impact role.
