Reporting to the Group Chief Risk Officer, this is a group‑level Senior Manager role within the second line of defense.

Provide second‑line guidance to regional teams on interpretation of group policies, documenting key interpretations and jurisdictional nuances for reuse.
Maintain the group regulatory obligations inventory and coordinate mapping to internal controls (including tracking coverage, ownership, and mapping status).
Coordinate and quality‑check group‑level inputs for regulatory engagement activities led by regional Compliance teams.
Maintain an emerging regulatory developments tracker and provide periodic summaries highlighting impacts, required actions, and accountable owners.
Facilitate cross‑jurisdiction insight‑sharing, identifying common themes, recurring findings, and opportunities to standardise responses.
Track regulatory remediation actions to closure, producing status reporting and escalating slippage, resourcing constraints, or material risks in line with agreed governance.
Coordinate group‑wide compliance risk assessment cycles, consolidating regional inputs into a single set of themes, material risks, and proposed actions.
Promote consistent compliance monitoring and testing approaches across regions by providing templates, minimum expectations, and comparative analysis of results.
Produce routine management reporting packs on compliance risks, issues, breaches, KRIs, and emerging themes, with clear commentary and recommended escalation where appropriate.
Support the operation of compliance governance forums, including calendar management, agenda development, paper collation, action tracking, and escalation routing.
Prepare and coordinate structured compliance inputs and papers for enterprise risk and governance committees (under the direction of accountable owners).
Ensure governance reporting is accurate, timely, evidence‑based, and clearly articulated, with actions and owners captured and followed up.
Provide second‑line compliance advice to group‑led product, technology, operations, and change initiatives, documenting key risks, requirements, and recommended mitigations.
Coordinate compliance assessments for new group‑initiated products, market entry, and material business change, producing documented opinions/requirements for review and sign‑off by accountable Compliance leaders.
Support compliance awareness and training by coordinating the annual plan, maintaining core materials, and tracking completion/attestation where required.
Contribute to knowledge‑sharing and capability development across the compliance community (e.g., playbooks, FAQs, briefings, and communities of practice).

Regulatory obligations inventory & control mapping status (coverage, owners, gaps, and actions) – maintained on an ongoing basis with periodic reporting.
Emerging regulatory developments tracker with impact assessment and required actions – updated continuously and summarised for stakeholders.
Regulatory remediation action log with status, milestones, and escalation points – reported through agreed governance.
Group compliance risk assessment output (consolidated themes, material risks, and proposed actions) – aligned to the annual risk cycle and ad hoc as needed.
Management reporting pack covering risks, issues, breaches, KRIs, and emerging themes – e.g., monthly/quarterly.

Documented compliance advice for group-led change initiatives (risks, requirements, and recommended mitigations) – captured in agreed tooling/templates.
