The position focuses primarily on UK and EU regulatory frameworks, with the opportunity to gain global, multi‑jurisdictional exposure. Over time, the successful candidate will also develop expertise in buy‑side risk analytics.

CCI values in‑office collaboration and we expect team members to work onsite five days a week.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the operation of an approved UK and EU compliance program within CCI Group’s governance framework.
• Maintain regulatory and legal registrations, compliance calendars, and risk registers for the UK and EU.
• Ensure timely submission of filings and certificates to regulators and other stakeholders.
• Assist with global KYC and AML/CTF processes, including annual onboarding reviews.
• Support regional lead officers and collaborate closely with Legal, Finance, and Operations.
• Investigate and remediate exceptions and/or breaches in line with UK, EU, and Group policies.
• Maintain the UK and EU asset register and assist the Group AML‑CTF Officer.
• Contribute to marketing compliance and regulatory support for product distribution.
• Engage with senior executives and provide input for global policy updates.
• Uphold CCI’s global compliance and risk standards as part of the Finance, Risk, Operations, and Tech (IT) team.

About You

We’re looking for a motivated and detail‑oriented professional with:

• 3–4 years’ experience in a compliance role, with relevant qualifications and registrations.
• Working knowledge of UK and EU regulatory regimes, ideally with exposure to MiFIDII transaction reporting, EMIR reporting, and SFTR reporting.
• Experience across compliance obligations, governance, and internal audit processes.
• Strong communication and analytical skills, with the ability to problem‑solve and prioritise effectively.
• A collaborative approach, with confidence working alongside portfolio managers, traders, and data scientists.
• A proactive, autonomous work style and strong attention to detail.
• Candidates from both buy‑side and sell‑side backgrounds are welcome to apply.

Ongoing training and professional development will be provided to support your growth into a regional subject matter expert.

What We Offer

• Competitive market‑based remuneration with access to the firm’s bonus pool.
