As part of continued growth, we are seeking to recruit an experienced individual to join our Client Regulatory team in London, as a Client Regulatory Manager.

The team's objective is to ensure that the firm is able to articulate its position on how we have implemented or complied with regulatory programmes, stay abreast of developments, and implement structure, consistency, and best practices around responding to client inquiries in this area, including associated client reporting.
Team success presumes regular engagement with, and support from, other functional teams such as Legal & Compliance, Trading, Portfolio Services, Investments, and IT, whether on an ad-hoc, working group or governance basis. The team is designed so that subject matter expertise, client engagement, development of best practices/reporting and collaboration with other internal stakeholders/expertise will result in the delivery of a strong client experience in different channels governed by a number of regulations and requirements.
