• Monitoring regulatory developments, assessing their impact on existing processes and implementing necessary changes.
• Preparing and delivering regulatory training within the department and, where appropriate, across the firm.
• Supporting colleagues’ learning and professional development, including taking on line management responsibilities where appropriate.
• Mentoring more junior members of the wider Risk and Compliance team and contributing to ad hoc projects.
• Managing a varied workload proactively, balancing competing priorities and providing clear, commercially focused advice.
