About the Role of Senior Compliance Manager:

We're looking for a hands-on compliance leader to drive risk mitigation and contractor oversight in the construction sector. In this newly created managerial role, you'll investigate reports, spot anomalies, and ensure payments, tax codes, UTRs, CIS registrations, and KYC information are fully compliant, while maintaining clear audit trails and escalating high-risk issues. You'll lead the team to meet deadlines without compromising quality, collaborate with onboarding to flag issues, and implement process improvements that strengthen controls. This is a unique opportunity to shape a new compliance function, make a tangible impact, and lead with accountability, precision, and influence across the business.

Responsibilities for the position of Compliance Manager:

  • Lead and manage a small compliance team, delegating workload and deadlines while maintaining quality standards.
  • Review contractor reports to identify anomalies, unusual patterns, and potential compliance risks.
  • Investigate large or irregular payments, ensuring documentation, recipients, and amounts are correct and compliant.
  • Verify compliance with tax codes, UTRs, CIS registration, and KYC/AML requirements.
  • Conduct outbound calls as needed to clarify discrepancies and validate information.
  • Identify potential Modern Slavery Act or human trafficking risks.
  • Liaise with the onboarding team to flag QC issues and recommend corrective actions.
  • Maintain comprehensive audit trails and escalate high-risk matters.
  • Track recurring anomalies, systemic issues, and business-critical issues to support mitigation strategies.
  • Contribute to building and improving compliance frameworks, processes, and team capabilities

Experience required for the position of Compliance Manager:

  • Strong investigative mindset with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Proven ability to lead, manage, and develop a small team effectively.
  • Confident in making outbound calls to challenge discrepancies and validate information.
  • Proactive, reliable, and accountable with excellent judgment and a "gut feel" for risk.
  • Knowledge or experience in construction-sector contractor compliance, payroll, KYC/AML, tax administration, or CIS is highly advantageous.
  • Comfortable escalating high-risk matters and maintaining robust audit trails.
  • Able to work full-time from the Cuffley office.
