Pensions Compliance Manager

Due to an internal promotion, my client, a leading UK Financial Services company, currently seeks an experienced compliance/regulatory manager to join their Annuities team. Managing a team of 3 regulatory specialists, your duties will include:

• Assessing the impact of changes or new regulations that impact the annuity business.
• Identifying process and procedural changes required to adhere to regulations and ensuring that the wider operational team is equipped with the necessary knowledge.
• Providing strategic guidance to the wider team around projects, system requirements, processes, procedures, and client literature to ensure continued compliance.
• Making recommendations to senior stakeholders regarding regulatory impact and adherence.
• Reviewing current practices to ensure they are fit for purpose.
• Handling escalated compliance issues/complaints, ensuring a consistently high level of service is provided.
• Ensuring your team is fully supported in terms of technical knowledge and providing feedback, guidance, and leadership.

Applicants must possess strong compliance/regulatory knowledge, especially regarding pensions/retirement (knowledge of annuities is advantageous but not a necessity). You will possess outstanding communication skills along with experience in identifying regulatory changes that could impact a business and identifying measures required to maintain compliance. Strong stakeholder management experience and the ability to influence and persuade at varying levels are essential.

This is a great opportunity to join one of the UK's leading employers/financial services organisations, offering a fantastic working environment, a generous remuneration package including bonus, pension, and medical insurance, hybrid working, and wonderful opportunities for development.
