Compliance Consultant, Wealth

Bovill is a global financial services regulatory consultancy with offices in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Americas. We work with clients internationally on every element of regulation. We help firms build projects to respond to significant regulatory change or give them peace of mind they’re doing the right thing.

Bovill is now part of Ocorian, the global provider of financial and corporate administration services and regulatory solutions. We have combined with Newgate, Ocorian’s existing regulatory and compliance business, to offer comprehensive regulatory support to financial services organisations. We are now looking to expand, enhance and extend our services to our valued clients as part of the wider Ocorian group.

Our Wealth Practice is looking for a highly motivated, proactive compliance consultant to join the team. The successful candidate will support and assist Bovill’s wealth and investment management clients by providing regulatory advisory services, guidance, and delivery of ongoing support engagements.

Working directly with clients across the sector collaborating with Bovill’s experienced team of industry specialists, the successful applicant will be responsible for:

• Providing high quality advice and support to clients on a range of regulatory compliance matters.
• Managing regulatory change projects.
• Drafting and maintaining policies, procedures, and compliance monitoring programmes.
• Delivering training sessions and workshops for compliance staff and senior management.
• Completing compliance health checks and periodic monitoring.
• Assisting with regulatory matters including authorisation applications and variations of permission.
• Responding to all queries, managing client expectations and delegating work, where necessary.
• Reviewing the work of colleagues and providing constructive feedback.
• Actively partnering with global sector teams to support and deliver on shared projects and responsibilities, where required.
• Preparing well-presented, accurately priced proposals for presentation to prospective clients.
• Writing comprehensive reports and documentation.
• Assisting the team with marketing and business development activities.
• Responding to ad-hoc and routine regulatory queries.

The role also provides opportunities to represent the company at industry events, promoting the Bovill brand. Additionally, participation in both internal and external events and training sessions, client briefings, roundtable discussions, and training sessions on topical regulatory issues are encouraged.

Successful applicants will have:

• A degree level education, or relevant experience.
• Relevant, diploma level professional qualification (investment or compliance-related), or willing to study towards.
• Significant compliance-related experience gained at a financial institution, legal practice, consultancy and/or the regulator.
• Strong technical knowledge of wealth/investment management or financial planning sectors and the conduct issues faced by our clients in those sectors.
• Deep understanding of the FCA’s policies and procedures.
• Experience translating regulatory rules and guidance into meaningful, fit-for-purpose and pragmatic solutions for clients.
• Experience managing client relationships.
• A broad understanding and an appetite to keep learning.

This role has responsibility for building the pipeline by leveraging existing relationships to maximise opportunities for up/cross-selling. Therefore, prior consulting experience is preferred.

Given the technical nature of the role, exceptional communication skills and high attention to detail are essential. Successful candidates should also be open to assisting other teams and clients on a broader range of regulatory matters when necessary. A willingness to develop your knowledge across the spectrum and to collaborate on work outside of your main area of expertise is encouraged.

In return we offer:

• The opportunity to work in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and stimulating environment.
• Support for career development through mentoring, coaching, and relevant training.
• The opportunity to work with friendly and collaborative colleagues.
• Pension, private healthcare, and a generous flexible benefits package.

Bovill actively supports flexible working and promotes a hybrid working practice.
