In this role, you’ll be at the heart of business acceptance, ensuring smooth client onboarding, managing compliance workflows, and leading by example in delivering exceptional service.

We’re looking for a compliance professional with considerable experience in a business acceptance or general compliance role, ideally within a law firm.

• Managing workloads, ensuring deadlines are met with accuracy
• Leading a small team, providing training, and ensuring a consistent approach to compliance processes
• Resolving conflicts, conducting sanctions screenings, and advising fee-earners on CDD requirements
• Supporting policy drafting, delivering training, and assisting with system upgrades

Success in this role requires a solid understanding of AML and conflicts regulations across multiple jurisdictions, along with strong commercial awareness and problem-solving skills. The ability to work under pressure, manage priorities, and communicate confidently with senior stakeholders is essential. A proactive approach and the ability to balance independent work with collaboration are key.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your compliance career, we’d love to hear from you.
