You will work closely with colleagues across FCC, the Legal, Environmental & Social and Compliance Group (LEC), and the wider Department, as well as engaging with external stakeholders including other government bodies, industry representatives, and international partners.

Main activities cover policy, processes and procedures review and development; supporting transactional due diligence consistency; formulating and delivering internal training programmes; preparing documentation for risk assessments and assurance; reviewing financial crime reports; engaging with stakeholders across government, industry, and international partners; and contributing to FCC’s transition to an intelligence-led operating model.

This role requires a proactive approach to maintaining high standards of compliance and risk management within a complex and evolving regulatory environment.
