  • Support the Senior Financial Compliance Manager to research, document, and implement a full suite of international client money policies
  • Keep up to date with regulatory changes in the landscape, ensuring knowledge is shared and documented where required
  • Support and oversight on the SRA Accounts rules external audit
  • Liaise with the Office of the General Counsel on relevant areas of client money compliance

  • A proven track record of compliance or finance operations, such as legal cashiering in the legal sector
  • Experience of developing a strong control environment with the legal sector
  • Knowledge and experience of working within International Client Money rules is preferred, though not essential
  • A clear, confident, and concise communicator to stakeholders at all levels of the business
