An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Conflicts Manager to join a team on a short-term, high-impact project based in London.

This role will be responsible for overseeing a team of Conflicts Analysts, ensuring conflicts checks are completed accurately, efficiently, and in line with firm policies and risk management procedures. You will act as the escalation point for complex conflicts issues, provide guidance and support to the team, and help manage workloads to ensure service levels are maintained throughout the project.

The successful candidate will have strong experience conducting and reviewing conflicts checks for new clients, matters, and related parties, assessing potential risks and determining appropriate next steps. You will also be responsible for ensuring accurate documentation within the conflicts system and maintaining high standards of quality and consistency across the team.

You will work closely with legal teams, compliance, risk professionals, and other internal stakeholders, providing clear and commercial guidance whilst maintaining strict confidentiality at all times.

Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years' conflicts experience within a law firm or professional services environment, together with previous people management or supervisory experience.

The ability to make informed decisions, manage competing priorities, and support the development of junior team members will be key to success in this role.

This position is ideally suited to candidates who are immediately available and able to commit fully for the duration of the contract.
