If you’re looking for a Head of Compliance role within the consumer lending arena that offers plenty of flexibility, then look no further.

???? 4-day working week with a full-time salary

???? Work predominantly from home if you wish, only going into the Gloucester office once a fortnight, or go in more often if you’d prefer to do so

If that wasn’t enough, I’ll even throw in

???? The potential to progress to Chief Compliance Officer

???? The opportunity to work with a very ambitious business on a serious growth curve, expecting to grow their loan book 3-4 times per year for the next 5 years

This established FinTech lender has been grown its loan book considerably over the last few years and is now expecting to grow it 3-4x per year, every year, for the next 5 years!

The firm has operated a 4-dya working week very successfully for a number of years, with staff working a full week condensed into 4 days.

They also have a really flexible working policy. You can work predominantly from home if you wish, only going into the Gloucester office once a fortnight, you can go into the office every day, or anything in between, it’s entirely up to you. Whatever suits you and your circumstances best.

You’ll manage a small team of 2, you’ll lead the core compliance initiatives and the company’s control framework by building relationships with key stakeholders, promoting an ethical working environment and successfully driving through regulatory change.

You’ll provide regulatory advice, guidance and challenge to the business, promote a culture of continued improvement in the quality of the customer experience and ensure the fair treatment of customers is at the heart of the business.

It is envisaged that you’ll also take on the MLRO responsibilities in due course.

You’ll be experienced in a similar senior Compliance role (ideally an SMF16 position) within a regulated Consumer Lending environment with a strong working knowledge of the associated regulatory framework, including the FCA handbook (CONC, DISP, SYSC etc.) and Consumer Duty.
