  • Developing relevant compliance collateral
  • Providing oversight services to firms as required
  • Delivering firm audits both remotely and face-to-face
  • Providing coaching and training sessions to a range of audiences through a variety of media
  • Contributing to team goals
  • Being an ambassador for the team and the firm

Key Skills & Experience:

  • Proven track record in compliance roles within established financial advisory or wealth management firms

  • Strong communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Excellent time management and organisation skills
  • Ability to deliver feedback in a constructive way
  • Ability to absorb a lot of information and provide clear summaries in an accessible way
