Supporting AML, KYC, sanctions, conflicts and other relevant compliance processes.
Managing compliance reviews, investigations and escalations.
Identifying emerging risks and recommending effective solutions.
Working closely with senior leadership, risk, legal and operational teams.

You'll ideally bring strong compliance experience within a law firm or professional services environment.Previous experience leading, supervising or managing a compliance team. Excellent knowledge of legal-sector regulatory and risk requirements and the confidence to advise and challenge senior stakeholders. Strong judgement and an ability to handle sensitive or complex issues and have practical, commercially minded approach to compliance.
