Senior Regulatory & Compliance Manager Location: WFH Remote (UK-based) with occasional travel Reports to: Head of Risk Contract: Permanent Salary: £80-85k plus bonus and bens. The Context This organisation delivers national infrastructure and service programmes that sit at the crossroads of finance, construction, and community access. It operates in a heavily regulated space, which makes for a fascinating challenge: navigating complex rules while keeping delivery agile and human. That means risk and compliance aren’t back-office functions here. They’re the connective tissue between policy, operations, and trust. Why This Role Matters • Compliance Advisory: This isn’t about saying “no” — it’s advising leaders of an expanding business on regulatory compliance and risk., • Framework: It's about mapping and horizon scanning key regulatory impacts. You’ll bring structure and confidence to a fast-moving organisation that needs clear, practical regulatory guidance, not theory. It’s hands-on, visible, and high impact. You’ll be the person the business turns to when the right answer isn’t obvious, and time is short. What You’ll Actually Do • Design, own, and evolve the regulatory and compliance framework — policies, registers, MI, and reporting that work in practice., • Lead horizon scanning to identify and interpret new or emerging regulations., • Support and deputise for the Head of Risk., • Advise the business on regulatory boundaries — what’s permissible, what’s not, and what’s open to discussion., • Lead on areas like Building regs, Consumer Duty, Vulnerable Customers, Health and Safety, and Operational Resilience., • Manage relationships with key stakeholders, including the FCA, auditors, and delivery partners., • Prepare clear, concise Board and ExCo reports that inform decisions., • Coach first-line teams to understand and manage their own compliance risks. Who You Are You’re someone who sees regulation as a framework for good decision-making, not red tape. You’re confident, pragmatic, and curious — equally at home explaining risk to a project manager or a board member. You’ll likely have: • Experience in Regulatory Compliance or Risk within a regulated or quasi-regulated organisation. Ideally, Financial Services and/or Buildings Construction,, • The ability to interpret and apply regulations proportionately., • Strong stakeholder management skills with a knack for building trust fast., • Confidence to give a view when it’s needed., • An analytical yet people-focused mindset — detail-driven but commercially aware. And, the more experience you have of the following, the better, though this is not an exhaustive list, as it's about aptitude in a regulatory environment that's key... • Direct experience with the Property and Construction regs:, • General health & safety duties, (CDM 2015, HSWA 1974 + MHSWR 1999),, • fire and building safety, (Fire Safety Order + Building Safety Act),, • design and construction standards (Building Regulations),, • legacy materials and site hazards (Asbestos / Environmental / Waste),, • Occupiers’ Liability 2. Direct experience with the Financial Conduct Authority regs: • Regulatory mapping & defined service scope (FSMA Perimeter),, • Outsourcing (SYSC 8),, • Operational Resilience and BCP (SYSC 15A),, • Consumer Duty,, • Data and Confidentiality (GDPR),, • Conduct and Governance., • Exposure to consumer protection, operational resilience, or infrastructure delivery. Mindset • Purpose-driven: You want your work to matter., • Curious: You ask questions others don’t., • Inclusive: You listen first, decide second., • Decisive: You don’t wait for perfect information., • Growth-minded: You learn fast and help others do the same. Why You Might Love It This is a role where knowledge and judgment, not bureaucracy, are the differentiators. You’ll shape policy as much as interpret it, influence at senior levels, and see the impact of your work in real time.
