Compliance Officer

Ambitious Compliance Officer wanted to drive real impact in Financial Services from Birmingham.

Regulation in Financial Services doesn't stand still, and firms that get compliance right win client trust before a single sales pitch happens. This growing SME, based in Birmingham, is looking for a Compliance Officer to help keep its regulatory framework sharp as the business scales. It's a role with genuine weight behind it, not a box-ticking exercise.

Here's what you'll be doing

Monitor regulatory changes affecting the firm's Financial Services activities and translate them into practical policy updates

Conduct compliance monitoring reviews across business functions and report findings to senior management

Support the business through FCA-related reporting requirements and internal audits

Maintain and refine the compliance monitoring programme, flagging gaps before they become problems

Deliver training sessions that actually stick, helping staff understand their regulatory obligations

Investigate incidents, complaints and breaches, then write up clear, defensible reports

Here are the skills you'll need

A few years' experience in a compliance role within Financial Services or a closely related regulated sector

Solid working knowledge of FCA rules and how they apply day to day, not just in theory

Sharp attention to detail. Compliance work punishes sloppiness

Confidence to challenge senior stakeholders when something isn't right

Strong written communication, since much of this job lives in reports and policy documents

A relevant qualification (ICA or similar) is useful, though not always essential if experience speaks for itself

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £40,500 to £52,000, depending on experience

Hybrid working, striking a proper balance between office time in Birmingham and working from home

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Bonus scheme on top of base salary

Generous annual leave and flexible working arrangements

Why pursue a career in Financial Services?

Birmingham has become a genuine hub for the sector outside London, with firms investing heavily in local compliance teams. Progression here tends to be quick for people who show judgement, not just process knowledge.
