We're looking for an enthusiastic and curious compliance professional to join our Global Business Acceptance team as a Junior Analyst in London. Being exposed to a wide variety of queries and situations over an established learning programme, you'll need to demonstrate a propensity for organisation and a keen attention to detail. This role primarily involves managing time sensitive and team critical business acceptance related queries that come into our centralised inbox, and as you progress with us, then learning how to identify (and resolve) either technical & commercial conflicts or CDD & financial crime related issues. You will also be expected to spot and escape reputational risk concerns, get involved in workstreams outside your normal scope of work and contribute to an environment that promotes the well-being and development of all team members.

The Global Business Acceptance team is responsible for supporting Bird & Bird's ambitious growth plans, ensuring our goals as a firm are achieved in a way that both aligns with our strategy and protects our brand. We do this every day by being trusted and respected advisors in areas including technical & commercial conflicts, financial crimes, sanctions and reputational risk. We help the firm do the right work, for the right clients on the right terms. With over 60 team members located across Hong Kong, the UAE and the UK, dealing daily with queries across our 30+ offices in 23 jurisdictions, we truly embody our team's Global name.

Our UK Business Acceptance team is currently comprised of 45+ individuals, so you'll be joining a well-established team structure playing a strategically important role in strengthening Bird & Bird's presence globally.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse a variety of business acceptance issues on a daily basis and proactively seek solutions which present a high standard of service and are in line with firm policy. This role involves learning about, identifying, coordinating and working to resolve (and where necessary, escalating) business acceptance related queries from various teams across the firm. These primarily relate to matter and client administration issues.
• Support the Global Business Acceptance team with queries they have, including getting involved in issues normally outside your remit to ensure the firm's needs are met and to ensure the normal operation of the global team.
• Effectively manage your own workload and work with those around you in the team in respect of their workloads to ensure that the firm's needs are met and queries are prioritised appropriately.
• Foster an environment of inclusion and growth that focuses on a consistent approach to high quality work and commerciality.
• Work with and support other members of the Global Business Acceptance team globally, other members of the Risk & Compliance department globally and other members of the firm globally on a daily basis.
• Proactively seek out learning opportunities, and maintain a willingness to develop the technical and non-technical skillsets relevant in your role.
• Contribute to the continued development of the Global Business Acceptance team's policies, frameworks, procedures, guidance and systems by providing regular feedback to management and those around you.
• Contribute to workstreams outside your normal scope of work in line with strategy developed by management of the Global Business Acceptance team. You're expected to work in the London office at least three days per week.

What you'll bring

• Previous experience working in a Business Acceptance, Risk & Compliance or similar function in a law firm or professional services, financial or corporate firm.
• Experience and ability to escape issues and collegially work with others to resolve them.
• Driven by curiosity, a strong commitment to continuous learning and a willingness to expand knowledge and skills within the role.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with an approachable mindset.
• Ability to be flexible, deal with competing priorities and adapt to regularly changing approaches and requirements.
• Ability to communicate effectively in various forms and styles.
• Ability to work effectively as a team player.
