The Vacancy
Head of Compliance & Regulatory Risk
At MotoNovo Finance, we're investing in our future and strengthening our first-line risk capability through the creation of a brand-new Head of Compliance & Regulatory Risk role.
This is a rare opportunity to join the senior leadership team in a role that will have a direct impact on how we embed regulatory excellence, deliver great customer outcomes, and continue our journey towards becoming an even more consumer-focused organisation.
You'll take ownership of MotoNovo's first-line regulatory risk framework, providing expert leadership on compliance, Consumer Duty, product governance and regulatory change across the business. You'll be a trusted advisor to senior leaders, influencing strategic decision-making while helping ensure our products, processes and customer journeys meet evolving regulatory expectations. Whilst it currently has no direct reports, you'll play a key role in developing capability across the business and there is potential for the role to expand as our regulatory landscape continues to evolve.
What you'll be doing

Providing expert regulatory guidance on products, business change and strategic initiatives.
Driving Consumer Duty compliance and championing fair customer outcomes.
Translating regulatory developments into practical business actions and influencing implementation plans.
Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across Risk, Product, Operations, Change, Legal and Compliance.
Representing MotoNovo in regulatory discussions, industry forums and occasional interactions with the FCA and other external bodies.
Supporting the development of regulatory knowledge and capability across the first line.
What we're looking for
We're looking for an experienced regulatory professional who combines deep technical expertise with exceptional stakeholder management skills. You'll bring:
Strong experience within regulatory compliance, regulatory risk, product governance or first-line advisory roles within financial services.
A deep understanding of the FCA regulatory framework, including Consumer Duty and wider conduct regulations.
The ability to influence, challenge and engage senior stakeholders with credibility and confidence.
Experience translating complex regulatory requirements into pragmatic business solutions.
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to balance customer, regulatory and business outcomes.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to simplify technical topics for diverse audiences.
Experience engaging with regulators or industry bodies.
A collaborative, values-led approach and a passion for delivering positive customer outcomes.
Why join MotoNovo?
This is more than a compliance role. It's an opportunity to shape how regulation supports innovation, customer outcomes and business success. In return, you'll benefit from:
A newly created role with significant visibility and influence.
The opportunity to shape and mature first-line regulatory capability.
Genuine career development opportunities with scope to broaden and grow the role over time.
The chance to make a meaningful impact on the future direction of one of the UK's leading motor finance providers.
