What you’ll be doing

You’ll be a trusted point of contact for a panel of advisers, providing practical and timely compliance support across their advice activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Building strong, collaborative relationships with your adviser panel and becoming their go-to person for compliance questions.

- Identifying, evaluating, reporting and managing compliance risks.

- Conducting advice pre-vetting and advice audits.

- Providing one-on-one coaching and guidance to advisers.

- Delivering training and development opportunities across the group.

- Contributing to compliance projects and initiatives across the business.

- Helping identify opportunities to improve processes, systems and the overall advice and compliance framework.

We’re looking for someone who can bring technical knowledge and sound compliance judgement, while also taking a practical, relationship-focused approach to working with advisers.
