Compliance Manager à Grande-Bretagne

About Zango

At Zango, we’re training AI agents to read and interpret complex regulations thereby turning regulation into code. In less than 12 months since incorporation, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s largest financial institutions and raised significant backing from top-tier investors.

Our mission is to help financial institutions stay ahead of regulatory change, so they can launch new products and expand into new markets 10x faster without hitting compliance bottlenecks.

What is the role

We’re looking for a financial services Compliance Subject Matter Expert (SME) who brings hands-on experience from working in the second line of defence in implementing compliance frameworks, maintaining governance registers, and designing and testing controls for effectiveness.

This is a unique opportunity: compliance and legal functions are going through a massive disruption for the first time being reshaped by AI. At Zango, you’ll sit at the intersection of technology and clients, helping senior stakeholders navigate this shift with confidence while directly shaping how AI transforms compliance.

• Engage senior stakeholders as a trusted advisor on compliance and regulatory change.
• Apply hands-on second line of defence experience (obligations extraction, gap analysis, controls design, testing effectiveness) to client challenges.
• Lead client conversations from initial interest through to contract and onboarding.
• Build long-term relationships that open up growth across business lines and jurisdictions.
• Bring client insights into Zango to help shape product and go-to-market strategy.

• 6–10 years’ experience in financial services compliance, regulatory advisory, or consulting in the UK/EU
• Hands-on second line of defence experience: implementing frameworks, governance registers, designing and testing controls.
• Client-facing experience with senior stakeholders; able to engage as a peer and build trust.
• Entrepreneurial bend – proven by times where you’ve created, or built something from scratch. This is one of the most important things we’ll look for in this role to assess fit.

This positions the role as part practitioner, part advisor, with the AI disruption angle front and center.
