About the role

An excellent opportunity is available to join a well-established, privately owned financial services firm providing stockbroking, investment and financial planning services to a long-standing client base. This is a varied, hands-on role offering exposure across both stockbroking and financial planning, making it ideal for someone who enjoys the practical side of compliance and wants to develop broad financial services experience.

Reporting directly to a Director and the Finance Manager, you will play an important role in supporting the firm's compliance and regulatory framework. You'll work closely with advisers, brokers and management across client account compliance, trade monitoring, AML/CTF, documentation, internal audits, policies and regulatory obligations.

Rather than being purely policy-focused, this position will see you involved in the day-to-day compliance activities of the business and helping ensure the wider team continues to meet its regulatory responsibilities.
