This is a hybrid role across compliance and hands‐on support to the Chief Operations Manager for an established law firm. It would suit someone who likes owning a compliance framework end to end but is equally happy rolling up their sleeves to keep a busy firm running smoothly.
A big part of this role will be embedding and maturing the AML/CTF program alongside its existing obligations. On the operations side, you will be the Chief Operations Manager's right hand on ad hoc projects, firm administration and process improvement. No two weeks will look the same.
