Here at CFC our Compliance Team continues to grow and so we are looking for a contentious graduate with an interest in regulatory affairs to join the team!

The role is focussed on operating CFC’s Compliance Framework, along with supporting the Compliance Team with licencing queries, financial crime, complaints and data protection matters.

CFC is a specialist insurance provider and a pioneer in emerging risk. We have a track record of disrupting inefficient insurance markets, and we use proprietary technology to deliver high-quality products to market faster than the competition while making it easier for brokers to do business. What does that mean for a Compliance function? Our UK business has grown massively and the Compliance team is no exception. You’ll be busy working on interesting, complex projects.

The sort of business we are, and our strategic priorities make this an interesting role for Compliance professionals - at CFC anyone can forge their own path, and as a key area of growth, this opportunity is as exciting as it gets!

About the role

Reporting to the UK Compliance Manager, the Compliance Assistant plays a key role in supporting the broader team in delivering the CFC Group Compliance Plan, along with delivering exceptional customer service to internal stakeholders (including underwriters, claims handlers and product developers).

The Compliance Assistant will be responsible for, but not limited to:

• Assisting with the Group's financial crime and sanctions processes and procedures, including the investigation of sanctions matches and high risk/manual team sanctions process reviews.
• Assist in managing the Group’s conduct risk and control framework, including operation of external complaints process in line with regulatory requirements and carriers’ expectations;
• Maintain the Groups Compliance registers and maintain adequate records of regulatory information, including effective communication with compliance leadership team;
• Support preparation for and coordination of internal and external audits;
• Support in the delivery of Compliance Training Plan, providing regulatory and compliance subject knowledge to internal stakeholders;

About you

• The successful candidate will be a fast learner and able to grasp new and complex concepts as well as having strong written and oral communication skills, as well as a keen eye for detail.
• A degree in a relevant field (e.g. Law) would be highly regarded, but not essential.
• A Certificate in Insurance (Chartered Insurance Institute) – Cert CII - would be highly regarded, but not essential. You will be supported in achieving this qualification upon joining CFC if not already completed.

We show up each day ready to take on the world. Our passion and intensity set us apart and makes the difference to our colleagues, customers, brokers and carriers.

Challenge everything:
We’re never afraid to question the way that things are done and we constantly challenge ourselves and others to makes things better.

Have fun, be good:
Insurance is a serious business, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We make it fun to work at CFC, we welcome all viewpoints, and we treat everyone how we would expect to be treated.
