What the role involves

  • Build the compliance framework and the monitoring plan under it.
  • Own the regulator relationship and every submission.
  • Advise the executive team before decisions, not after.

What we are looking for

  • Compliance leadership in a regulated lending or payments business.
  • The judgement to distinguish real risk from procedural noise.
  • Willingness to be the only person in the function for the first year.
The process

What happens after you apply.

01

Within 3 days

A consultant reads your application and calls you if there is a fit. If there is not, you get an email that says so plainly.

02

Screening call

Twenty to thirty minutes. The role in detail, the actual salary band, and what you need from your next move.

03

Structured interview

The same questions every candidate for this role is asked, so the comparison is fair. Bring two or three specific examples.

04

Submission, with your yes

Nothing goes to the employer until you agree to it. We brief you on the panel and the format before you meet them.
