Step into this Compliance Officer role and build something that matters in Financial Services.

Regulation in Financial Services has only gone one direction over the past decade: tighter, more granular, and less forgiving of gaps. This enterprise-scale organisation, a well-established name in the sector, needs a Compliance Officer who can keep pace with that shift while its Cambridge operation continues to grow. You'd be joining a business with the scale to do things properly and the frameworks already in place to support you.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Monitor regulatory changes affecting the business and translate them into practical policy updates

Conduct compliance reviews and risk assessments across business units, flagging issues before they become problems

Maintain and improve the compliance monitoring programme, including testing schedules and reporting cycles

Support the business through internal audits and regulator engagement, preparing documentation and evidence packs

Deliver training sessions that help colleagues understand their compliance obligations without drowning them in jargon

Investigate breaches or near-misses, write up findings clearly, and recommend fixes that actually stick

Here are the skills you'll need:

A few years' experience in a compliance role within Financial Services, ideally with exposure to FCA regulation





Solid working knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks and how they apply in practice, not just on paper

Sharp attention to detail. Compliance work punishes sloppiness

Confidence writing clearly for different audiences, from front-line staff to senior leadership

Good judgement under pressure, particularly when a decision needs to be made without a perfect precedent to follow

Comfortable working within established best practices while still being willing to question them when needed

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £44,000 to £55,000, depending on experience

Hybrid working, splitting time between home and the Cambridge office

Private medical and dental insurance

Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses

Structured career development within a large, secure organisation

Why pursue a career in Financial Services?

Compliance has become one of the more secure and well-rewarded career paths in Financial Services, precisely because the regulatory bar keeps rising. Cambridge has quietly built a strong Financial Services presence alongside its tech and life sciences reputation, giving a Compliance Officer here genuine variety and long-term prospects. Good compliance people are hard to find, which tends to work in your favour when it comes to progression.
