Job description

Regulatory Compliance Architect - AI RegTech

City of London (5 days per week in office)

£60,000 - £75,000 + equity

We're partnering with an ambitious AI-driven RegTech firm that is redefining how financial institutions interpret and implement regulation.

They are hiring a Regulatory Compliance Architect who enjoys working deeply with rules, frameworks and obligations, and wants to apply that expertise in a cutting-edge technology environment.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional 2nd line compliance role. You'll sit at the intersection of regulatory expertise, product & engineering, AI model development, and client-facing solution design. You will help translate complex regulation into structured frameworks that can be embedded into AI-driven compliance tools.

If you enjoy breaking down FCA handbooks or regulatory texts, performing regulatory gap analysis, mapping policies and controls, horizon scanning and regulatory change analysis …this role is built for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Extracting regulatory obligations and structuring them into clear frameworks
• Conducting regulatory gap analysis and compliance assessments
• Mapping regulatory requirements to policies, controls and risk frameworks
• Supporting horizon scanning and regulatory change interpretation
• Acting as a regulatory "human-in-the-loop" alongside product and engineering teams
• Supporting client discussions, demonstrations and solution design

What They're Looking For

• Experience in regulatory compliance within financial services
• Strong regulatory change, horizon scanning or regulatory implementation experience
• Confident communicator able to engage both technical and business stakeholders
• Legal background / education (desirable but not essential)
• Background in compliance consulting / fintech (desirable but not essential)

Butler Rose is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
