4. Advising on product development, management, and distribution to ensure fair customer outcomes, regulatory compliance, and alignment with conduct risk appetite.
5. Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of regulatory developments and assisting with responses to consultation proposals and regulatory change initiatives.
6. Reporting necessary matters to product providers and attending relevant meetings as required.
7. Building strong working relationships with business areas and risk/compliance teams to coordinate responses to regulatory developments affecting UK funds.
8. Supporting the CCO and compliance colleagues by developing tools, promoting a strong compliance culture, and providing ad hoc team support.

Who we're looking for:

1. Good understanding of rules applying to UCITS and AIF Product Providers in the UK.
2. Good knowledge of UK financial promotion and marketing rules, guidance, and practice.
3. Ability to analyse and advise on emerging regulatory risks and their impact on our business.
4. Regulatory knowledge and experience of FCA rules and practical application.
5. Good knowledge of UK products and fund management activities.
6. Experience interpreting and applying regulatory rules to practical scenarios and devising compliant, commercially acceptable solutions.
7. Strong positive attitude and high energy—part of a high-performing global compliance team.
8. Experience in presenting reports to senior management and clients.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Participation in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and share schemes.
