Senior Compliance Policy Consultant

Salary: c. £50,000 + Benefits

Don't just interpret regulation. Help shape how the business responds to it.

We're working with a leading financial services organisation looking for an experienced Senior Compliance Policy Consultant to join its second-line Compliance function.

This is a high-profile specialist role for someone with strong Wealth, Investments or Financial Planning expertise who enjoys getting under the skin of regulation and turning complex FCA requirements into clear, commercially focused action.

You won't be focused on traditional monitoring or assurance. Instead, you'll be the go-to regulatory SME, tracking what's coming next, assessing the impact on the business and influencing how senior stakeholders respond.

What you'll be doing

• Own the interpretation of new FCA consultation papers, policy statements and regulatory developments.
• Assess the impact of regulatory change across Wealth, Investments and Financial Planning.
• Translate complex regulation into clear, practical guidance for the business.
• Produce high-quality policy papers, technical briefings and regulatory updates.
• Provide expert second-line advice and constructive challenge to senior stakeholders.
• Support the business in implementing regulatory change effectively.
• Act as a key SME on Conduct of Business and customer outcome requirements.
• Build strong relationships across the business and influence decision-making at a senior level.

What we're looking for

You'll bring significant Compliance experience from Wealth Management, Investments, Financial Planning or Retail Investments, alongside strong technical knowledge of FCA regulation.

You'll also have:

• Strong knowledge of FCA Conduct of Business requirements.
• Experience interpreting FCA consultations, policy statements and regulatory publications.
• Excellent policy and technical writing skills.
• The confidence to advise, influence and challenge senior stakeholders.
• The ability to make complex regulation clear, practical and commercially relevant.
• A strong understanding of how regulation impacts both businesses and customer outcomes.

You may currently be working as a Senior Compliance Consultant, Compliance Policy Manager, Regulatory Policy Manager, Technical Compliance Manager, Compliance SME or Regulatory Change Consultant.

Why consider it?

If you're at your best when analysing regulation, influencing strategy and shaping policy, this is an opportunity to move beyond routine compliance activity and become a trusted regulatory voice within the business.
