If you're looking to build a future and make an impact, RSM is the place for you.

Make an impact within our Compliance team at RSM UK

People are an organisation’s biggest asset, but also its biggest cost and risk. RSM’s People Advisory Services helps organisations enact their people and talent strategies and manage challenges through a multidisciplinary approach in the UK and globally. Our team combines experts across employment tax, legal, payroll, HR, equity reward, and global mobility, providing clients with a seamless service.

Your role and responsibilities:

• Assist the PAP Compliance Team with admin tasks such as email maintenance, populating spreadsheets, sending engagement letters for electronic signatures, creating forms, and updating client questionnaires.
• Draft professional clearance and engagement letters for clients, following internal templates and ensuring timely follow-up with clients’ payroll providers or accountants.
• Contribute ideas to improve the client onboarding process.
• Learn to perform anti-money laundering client due diligence in line with internal procedures and regulations, including understanding client structures, tracing beneficial ownership, analyzing electronic checks, and conducting conflict checks.

What we are looking for:

This role suits someone with keen attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a customer service mindset. You should have GCSE (or equivalent) Maths and English at grade C/4 or above, and be proficient in MS Office and Windows applications. Experience in client account management, AML, KYC, legal, office management, banking, or client onboarding is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to meet deadlines and maintain accuracy.
• Analytical problem-solving skills.
• Confidence in communicating with all levels of stakeholders.
• Initiative and teamwork skills.

What we offer:
