Group Risk and Compliance Assurance Officer

2 weeks ago


Leeds, United Kingdom PIB Group Full time

PIB is a new, dynamic, entrepreneurial, client centric and rapidly growing insurance broker and employee benefits provider. Since April 2016, it has completed more than 20 acquisitions and has grown from 50 to 1200 people, sited in more than 40 offices across the UK & Ireland. The aim of PIB is to create the UK's leading independent diversified specialist insurance intermediary, and a business that can provide a genuinely credible alternative to the larger and more established brokers.

Please note this role can be based from any of our offices across the UK and include flexible working from home.

**Group Risk & Compliance ('GRC')**

The PIB Group Risk & Compliance function is led by Group CRO Tim Chadwick. Tim has 25+ years' experience in risk, compliance, corporate governance and prior to PIB was the Group Head of ERM at Jardine Lloyd Thompson. He has held senior roles within Willis Towers Watson (UK CRO/Risk Director) and AON (e.g. UK Head of Corporate Governance) and RSA (e.g. Global Head of Business Continuity & Crisis Management). Tim reports to the PIB Group CEO Brendan McManus and sits on the Group Exec and the UK regulated firms' Boards.

The CRO with his leadership team is continuing to grow and build a leading, high performance GRC function that can support and oversee a changing and vibrant business in managing the risks that matter. At a macro level, the key challenge for the GRC function is ensuring that risk management, regulatory compliance and governance keeps pace with the growth of PIB, and that these crucial elements are robust, proportionate and commercially pragmatic.

Given the growth of the business and a firm intent to increase both our UK and overseas footprint, there will be opportunities in GRC to broaden horizons, learn, gain a unique career experience and be a part of building and shaping something special at PIB.

**The role**

The role sits within GRC (2LOD) in the Risk & Assurance team and reports to the Head of Risk & Assurance which is held by Luke Everall. Luke has 20 years' experience in risk, compliance and internal audit. He has also held operational and broking roles within the general insurance broking industry for 10 years. Prior to PIB he was Head of Compliance for Lorica Insurance Brokers and has held senior compliance positions within Towergate Insurance and Cullum Capital Ventures. Luke reports to the CRO.

Providing regulatory assurance on our growing footprint is critical to our oversight role and the company's overarching governance. This role plays a key role in assessing the level of compliance and regulatory maturity of PIB's businesses and potential regulatory and client outcome risks. The role requires the role holder to:

- Be able to act as a 'critical friend' to the business, delivering constructive challenge and identifying solutions to address issues that are identified;
- Have excellent communication (verbal and written), stakeholder management, influencing, teamwork and analytical skills;
- Have excellent planning and execution skills and be able to work objectively and independently, producing work within agreed timescales to a high standard; and,
- Travel to a range of UK destinations to undertake fieldwork.

This role involves working with a wide range of senior stakeholders across the PIB businesses and working with other areas of GRC such as the Group Conduct Officers/Compliance Business Partners.

**Ideal person profile**
- Has previous experience of undertaking a similar compliance monitoring/assurance role ideally in other brokers or insurers, or other areas of financial services. Likely to have 3-5 years compliance monitoring experience;
- Is a confident, persuasive and articulate communicator and capable of robust dialogue;
- Proven track record in delivering practical and actionable recommendations
- Strong technical, practical and working knowledge of FCA GI regulation

**As well as a competitive salary we offer the following benefits** - Competitive holiday allowance with the annual option to buy additional days
- Death in Service benefit of x4 salary
- Company pension scheme
- Very generous maternity and paternity leave packages
- A flexible benefits package which allows you to add additional benefits to your overall package
- Our benefits portal offers discounts on technology & electronics, cinemas, restaurants, days out, mortgage advice, travel and many more
- Referral schemes
- Discounted rates on PIB products
- We offer a first-class employee benefits and welfare package to support our employees with financial management, cycle to work scheme, counselling support, health screening, will writing, menopause support, books, stopping smoking and much more
- PIB Group are committed to improving their environmental impact in a responsible way. From the individual actions that our colleagues take every day through to installing the right facilities across our premises, there are many measures in place to help reduce PIB's carbon footprint.

We are an equal opportunities employer, committed to hiring a diverse and inclusive workforce. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or any other characteristic protected by law.
