London Area, United Kingdom Recognise Bank Full time

Hello,

We are Recognise Bank.

Our vision is to become the UK's leading business bank, providing tailored lending and savings solutions designed to meet the unique needs of modern SMEs.

Founded in 2017 by experienced business owners, Recognise Bank was born out of a shared frustration with the traditional banking industry's lack of understanding, flexibility, and certainty for small and medium-sized businesses. We believed there was a better way to serve the SME community—and we set out to create it. In 2021, we received our banking licence and quickly built a strong community of loyal business customers, supported by our dedicated, diverse, and expert team. At Recognise Bank, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We offer a range of flexible lending solutions and secure, FSCS-protected savings accounts with competitive interest rates, empowering businesses to thrive with confidence.

About the role

An exciting opportunity for a bright, commercially minded regulatory lawyer to join a dynamic in-house legal, compliance and company secretarial team. This role offers exposure across the legal, governance, regulatory and compliance space including financial crime, working closely with the business to navigate complex legal and regulatory challenges.

You will be responsible for ensuring the company complies with key corporate and financial services laws and regulations, providing strategic advice as well as operational support in relation to legal, compliance and financial crime risks, and contributing to the development of compliance and financial crime governance frameworks. This role offers an excellent opportunity for a junior regulatory lawyer seeking to move in-house, gain broader business exposure, and grow within a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation.

You will play a pivotal role in interpreting and navigating FCA and PRA regulations, advising on compliance challenges and implementing solutions to solve these challenges. This is an ideal position for a junior lawyer eager to transition in-house and thrive in a fast-paced financial services environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide legal and regulatory advice on UK and EU financial services regulations, including FCA, PRA, SMCR, and AML regulations.
  • Monitor and interpret regulatory developments, ensuring compliance with evolving laws.
  • Support the design and implementation of compliance frameworks and policies.
  • Assist with regulatory reporting obligations.
  • Collaborate with risk, compliance, product, and operations teams to mitigate regulatory risks.
  • Assist in regulatory aspects of new product launches, licensing applications, and corporate governance.
  • Provide internal training on regulatory requirements and best practices.
  • Provide company secretarial support to the Board and its Committees.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years PQE, with a strong foundation in financial services regulation including financial crime.
  • Education & Certification: Legally qualified (UK)
  • Skills: A strategic thinker with the ability to provide commercially focused legal advice.
  • A self-starter, keen to take ownership and work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication skills – able to simplify complex legal issues and engage with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Mindset: Growth-oriented, adaptable, and committed to fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration

Why join?

  • Work From Anywhere: 4 weeks of Work From Anywhere allowance per year.
  • Learning & Development: Support for professional growth through tailored training and development programs.
  • Hybrid Working: Flexible working model with 3 days in the office and 2 days remote per week.

Recognise Bank is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
