Risk & Compliance Manager

We are pleased to bring to market what we feel is a super role  for someone to join a growing insurance business as their new Risk & Compliance Manager, based from their Gloucester office.

If you have gained at least 3 years compliance experience, and within this have dealt with the FCA then we have a role for you that will offer you a great challenge and the opportunity to support and work closely with the Head of Operations, Risk & Compliance here, with the support of a wider group Compliance team.

This business is a genuinely lovely Insurance business in Gloucester, who have shown some impressive growth over the last few years (GWP has increased form £10million to £14million in a few years), and who have a refreshingly warm and supportive senior management team.

Speaking to the MD and Head of Operations, Risk & Compliance here was a breath of fresh air. They are so passionate about the business, and what an exciting place it is to be. They feel this is a key role in ensuring their continued success, and help to free up the Head of Risk & Compliance time to focus more on the ops side of the business, as they currently handle everything compliance related.

This MGA focus on Leisure risks, with the main areas of focus currently being Holiday Parks and residential parks and have recently extended this into individuals who own lodges and caravans on these types of parks, having developed a scheme for this. They are also about to move into insuring beach huts too!

We wont bore you with a long list of duties, but in the main this role will be responsible for effectively driving a culture that ensures adherence to the Business risk appetite here, managing procedures, systems & controls, in accordance with regulatory and governance standards for the FCA and other major regulatory bodies. You will also manage and deliver the Compliance Monitoring Plan, maintaining proactive & added value relationships with the Business stakeholders and Senior Management Team.

You will also need to be a management professional with the ability to lead, motivate and mentor supporting teams and also engage with business partners and key stakeholders with excellent attention to detail and be able to keep accurate records.

If you hold The Cert CII (or at the very least be willing to work towards Chartered Insurance Institute Certification) this would be a distinct advantage.
