Compliance Coordinator

Keepmoat Limited; Doncaster; Hybrid; GBP 30,000 - 50,000

Job description

Keepmoat Homes is a fast growing top 10 UK housebuilder. We design and build quality homes and create places where people want to live.

Our investment and participation helps transform communities and improves the lives of local people. We have a national presence combined with local knowledge and expertise in all aspects of housing – from finance, design and planning, to developing and building. Our comprehensive skills and capabilities give us a wider perspective across the whole housing lifecycle and we create lower risk ways of building homes people need.

For more than 90 years our work has been absolutely visible to local communities so being part of the community is in our DNA. We hire local suppliers and tradespeople and work with local communities to make sure that our plans meet their needs.

We have opportunities for two Compliance Coordinators to join our Group Legal & Compliance department, based from our head office in Doncaster with agile/hybrid working. These roles would suit candidates with experience as a Paralegal, or with Know Your Customer (KYC) or anti-money laundering experience.

The key focus of these roles is to provide support and assistance to the Keepmoat KYC programme from a Legal and Compliance perspective. The role will include undertaking both planned and responsive KYC compliance activities and offering proactive support and advice to the business as it is needed to ensure Keepmoat remains compliant with its economic crime prevention obligations.

The Compliance Coordinators will support the 3 regions in a division with their KYC approval process, predominantly in relation to the sales process, including record keeping, and internal system management, including but not limited to:

• Writing reports and working with regional sales teams, regional senior leadership, the Group General Counsel and the Group Money Laundering Regulation Officer where required.
• Auditing, monitoring and reporting the levels of compliance.
• Answering queries on the measures in place and how to apply them.
• Interfacing with customers directly, when required.
• Reviewing KYC policies against relevant legislation and guidance to ensure they remain suitable and up to date and making recommendations for changes, improvements to policies and procedures.
• Analysing data and preparing coherent, evidence-based reports to inform the business on the progress of the compliance programme.
• Supporting in the writing of training materials and delivering training to teams on KYC compliance matters.

Skills, knowledge & experience

We are looking for candidates who have good time management skills, a responsive attitude and the ability to multitask. They will have excellent attention to detail and organisation skills with strong presentation skills, both written and verbally, including writing formally to stakeholders at different levels within the business. They will have confidence in interpreting and analysing data to make evidence-based findings. Proven experience within Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel, is essential.

Working knowledge of UK anti-money laundering or anti-fraud and project management experience would be desirable, as would a bachelor’s degree in a legal, compliance or finance background.

The successful candidates will have a good standard of general education (a minimum of 5 A*-C/4-9 GCSE’s or equivalent) along with previous work experience in compliance, residential sales, or the legal sector. They will need to have full right to work in the UK with no sponsorship requirement.
