Job Description:
Shape something different. This company doesn’t believe in putting people into boxes.
Compliance. Operations. Process. Culture. They all matter - but it’s how they connect that really makes a difference.
We are working in partnership with our trusted client, who is serious about hiring the right individual, someone who can bridge the gap between compliance and operations.
This values-led financial advice business combines the stability of long-serving leadership with a bold, future-facing mindset. Since becoming directly authorised, they’re focused on aligning their internal functions to build smarter, more effective ways of working.
They know where bottlenecks form and what needs to be changed. Now, they’re looking for someone who can help shape what good looks like.
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing firm at a pivotal time — where your ideas will be valued, your voice heard, and your impact felt. You'll be trusted with genuine autonomy to embed quality from the inside out in a culture that prioritises common sense over red tape.
You’ll:
* Lead day-to-day compliance and act as a key support to the SMF16/17, handling regulatory matters, risk reviews, and complaints with confidence.
* Oversee the paraplanning and admin teams, ensuring high-quality output, workflow efficiency, and adherence to SLAs.
* Shape and embed operational and compliance processes that are pragmatic, not paper-heavy.
* Monitor regulatory changes, update internal policies (e.g., T&C, advice framework), and deliver relevant training.
* Be the bridge between compliance, operations, and commercial strategy, driving continuous improvement and a strong compliance culture.
You’ll bring:
* Experience in IFA compliance and the confidence to own it.
* An understanding of how operations should feel when they run well.
* A solution-led mindset, not status quo.
* A desire to build something better, not just maintain what’s there.
You’ll get:
* Real ownership — a seat at the table and a voice in the room.
* Support from low-ego, high-integrity leaders who back their people.
* Flexibility, and a team that plays the long game.
* A culture that rewards initiative, not politics.
This isn’t a CV-box-tick hire. It’s about finding someone who wants to shape, grow, and get stuck in, and who sees this as a career chapter worth writing.
