Manager, Group Compliance & Risk Manager

Independent of both internal audit and group finance, this role will be responsible for an ongoing assessment and upgrade of all compliance-related matters and the development and reporting of risk management policies and tools. The compliance aspect of the role will require the candidate to implement and monitor a preventative compliance system, with a focus designed, to oversee areas linking to internal audit, legal, corruption and money-laundering type activities. This will also extend to the development of ethical programs across the group to identity areas of leakage whilst promoting a “whistleblowing” culture within a confidential and trusting partnership.

Setting aside the technical capabilities, the client will look for a strong personality of character along with a business gravitas to manage all internal and external relationships with an ability to influence and convince across the business units.
