As the UK's largest independent vehicle solutions provider, we are proud of our people, our award-winning service, and our bold ambitions to make mobility smarter, greener, and better for everyone.

Within our regulated Consumer division, which includes our digital personal contract hire brand Zen Auto and our expanding White Label B2B2C partnerships, compliance plays a central role.

Your Role & Impact

As a Compliance Monitoring Officer, you'll make a real difference as part of a small, trusted team. You'll manage all areas of compliance monitoring activities and be empowered to complete reviews independently.

• Support the design of the Compliance Monitoring Plan by collaborating with teams and understanding business processes.
• Track remediation actions to completion and provide assurance to management.
• Stay up to date with regulatory changes and ensure these are reflected in monitoring activities.

About You

You will have experience in compliance monitoring or risk within a regulated environment (financial services, consumer credit, or similar). You'll bring:

• Knowledge of FCA rules (particularly CONC and DISP) and UK legislation (Consumer Credit Act, GDPR).
• Excellent communication skills – able to explain issues clearly and build trust.
• Relationship management skills – collaborative and confident engaging with stakeholders.
• A curious, analytical mindset and high attention to detail.
• Comfortable working independently and adapting to new systems and processes.
