A global Fund and Corporate Services firm with a substantial presence in Guernsey is looking to recruit a Head of Compliance to act as the resident compliance lead for all Guernsey-based Group entities. This is a newly created role.
The firm employs approximately 200 staff locally and the successful individual will lead numerous teams covering financial crime, compliance and KYC. With a number of different licenced entities, the role holder will work closely with the compliance functions in each entity. It is therefore essential that candidates have sufficient experience to oversee a business of this size and complexity.
Having made a number of recent acquisitions, the Head of Compliance will be responsible for taking on various systems and operating models, building a new overarching Group compliance structure that could potentially be scalable to cover other jurisdictions.
The business maintains an excellent relationship with the local regulator and the successful individual will also have a proven, positive record of regulatory interactions.
This is a rare opportunity for a compliance professional looking to take on a substantial leadership role at the highest level. Candidates will have held prescribed or regulated roles with a minimum of 10-15 years’ experience working at a senior level within a regulated financial services firm. Experience of managing teams is also essential. Candidates should also possess sufficient gravitas and strength of character to challenge the business where necessary and discuss relevant topics at the most senior levels within the Group.
The salary and package offered will reflect the senior nature of this role. For more information on this exciting opportunity, which is exclusive to OSA, please contact us today in the strictest of confidence.
