Step into a senior compliance role with real scope to influence how regulatory and financial crime risk is managed across a large, complex financial services organisation.

We’re looking for two experienced Senior Compliance Managers to join Business and Corporate Banking within a large, established organisation. Both roles offer senior stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to work across complex compliance and regulatory matters, with each bringing a slightly different focus.

Business Banking – Financial Crime Compliance
With a stronger Financial Crime focus, you’ll lead on financial crime compliance matters, providing specialist regulatory advice and helping ensure procedures, controls and compliance initiatives remain effective, practical and fit for purpose.

Corporate Banking – Regulatory Compliance
This role has a broader regulatory compliance remit across Corporate Banking. You’ll advise on regulatory requirements, compliance issues and incidents, oversee compliance reporting and contribute to wider regulatory and compliance initiatives.

The roles
You’ll be a trusted senior advisor to the business, helping stakeholders navigate regulatory change, manage compliance risk and strengthen controls. You’ll interpret complex requirements, understand their impact and translate them into clear, practical advice.

Strong technical compliance knowledge and sound commercial judgement will be key. You’ll have the confidence to influence senior stakeholders, challenge constructively and work through complex issues to achieve practical outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Provide trusted compliance advice and guidance across Business or Corporate Banking
• Act as a subject matter expert on relevant legislative and regulatory requirements
• Assess new and changing laws, regulations and industry codes, identifying impacts and recommending appropriate responses
• Lead and support regulatory and compliance initiatives, clearly articulating obligations, risks and controls
• Advise on compliance requirements across new products, processes, initiatives and reviews
• Develop and improve policies, procedures, monitoring and controls to strengthen compliance risk management
• Build strong stakeholder relationships and help lift risk and compliance capability across the business
• Lead initiatives that strengthen risk maturity and make compliance simpler and more effective

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years’ financial services experience, including a strong background in regulatory compliance
• Financial Crime regulatory compliance expertise will be particularly valuable for the Business Banking position
• Strong knowledge of regulatory and legislative obligations and how they apply within a commercial environment
• Experience assessing compliance risks and controls and supporting regulatory change
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues and drive practical solutions
• The credibility to advise, influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to make complex compliance matters clear
• Strong written skills, including producing clear, concise reports, commentary and advice
• Sound judgement and the ability to navigate ambiguity and competing priorities

Why Join?

• Work across complex Financial Crime, regulatory and compliance risk matters where your expertise can have real impact
• Gain broad exposure across significant Business or Corporate Banking operations
• Help shape how compliance risk is understood and managed, rather than simply monitoring it
• Combine technical compliance expertise with strategic influence and senior stakeholder engagement
• Lead meaningful compliance initiatives while helping strengthen risk capability across the wider business

These roles will suit experienced financial services compliance professionals who enjoy working through complex regulatory issues, influencing at a senior level and helping the business find practical ways to manage risk well.

Whether your expertise sits specifically within Financial Crime Compliance or you bring a broader regulatory compliance background, we want to hear from you.
