You’ll undertake horizon scanning for regulatory developments, delivering high-quality governance reports, managing risks, and collaborating across teams to reduce dependencies on single points of failure.
Key responsibilities:
-
Lead on the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of AGH’s compliance framework, including ensuring policies and procedures align with regulatory requirements and Group Standards.

Work collaboratively with other members of the team on critical compliance activities, including regulatory reporting to relevant regulators including the FCA and JFSC and compliance advisory matters, to help reduce single‑point dependencies.
