Job Description

Interim Compliance Advisory Specialist - Remote - Occasional travel to Nottingham

Job description 

BDO Regulatory Solutions are currently recruiting for an Interim Compliance Advisory Specialist to join our client, a UK‑regulated retail banking and financial services organisation. This role is remote, with occasional travel to the Nottingham office. We are offering an initial 4‑month contract starting April, with an excellent day rate, employed via an Umbrella company. 

About the role 

This role provides short‑term, business‑as‑usual second line Compliance Advisory coverage during a defined transition period, ensuring continuity while permanent senior roles are being appointed. 

The engagement focuses on maintaining advisory support, managing regulatory risk, and preventing backlog build‑up — not transforming or redesigning the function. The remit is strictly second line advisory, with no framework ownership, policy responsibility, SMF accountability, people management, or first line activities. The contractor will focus on stabilising BAU work, prioritising key advisory matters, and supporting a structured handover to permanent colleagues at the end of the engagement. This is an excellent fit for an experienced compliance advisory professional from a UK‑regulated retail banking or building society environment, with strong knowledge of consumer products, FCA regulatory expectations and second line operating models. 

Key responsibilities include:
Providing day‑to‑day second line advisory support on regulatory compliance matters (e.g., FCA Handbook, SYSC, Consumer Duty)
Responding to advisory queries from first line teams using risk‑based prioritisation
Reviewing and providing second line challenge on new products, marketing, product changes, and material system/process changes
Supporting regulatory interpretation and application to business proposals
Escalating material regulatory risks, judgement calls, or thematic issues to the SMF16
Providing advisory support on projects and change activity with a focus on regulatory risk
Maintaining clear documentation of advisory decisions and rationale throughout the engagement
Preparing a structured end‑of‑engagement handover pack summarising key risks, open matters, themes, and stakeholder considerationsAbout you We’re looking for someone with:
Strong experience in second line Compliance Advisory within UK retail banking or building societies
In‑depth understanding of FCA regulations, SYSC, Consumer Duty and regulatory interpretation
Ability to prioritise and handle BAU advisory queries efficiently
Confident regulatory judgement and understanding of escalation routes
Ability to operate independently within a well‑defined scope
Strong written communication and documentation skillsExperience must align to stabilisation, advisory support, and regulatory risk management — transformation/strategic change experience is welcome but not required here. 

Additional Information Location: Remote (occasional travel to Nottingham)
 Duration: 4 months
 Start Date: April
 Working Hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm
