Description

Senior Compliance Manager
London

At Freetrade, we believe investing should be accessible to everyone. It's one of the best ways to grow your savings, but for many, it seems complicated, expensive, and out of reach.

We're here to change that.

We're building a team with diverse and unique perspectives to help us on our mission to simplify investing. Our goal is to help our customers achieve better long-term financial outcomes.

In 2025, we'll be focusing on radically improving our product for our core customer base. In the UK, we now have over 1.6 million registered users, and we offer a range of products such as SIPP, stocks and shares ISA, UK Treasury bills, and Gilts. Freetrade will also become a part of the IG Group in mid-2025 and, while we will continue to operate as an independent company, are excited about the opportunities that being part of an established financial services group will bring.

We are looking for an exceptional Compliance Senior Manager to join our team. In this role you will work with colleagues in the UK, and Budapest across a wide range of compliance activities, supporting our oversight of the business and helping to ensure that we deliver good outcomes to our customers.

You will be part of a team that is always looking to improve the structure and processes within the business to become as efficient as possible as we support business growth and bring new products to market.

You will...
  • Help lead the delivery of Freetrade's Global Compliance programme, focusing on delivering regulatory and compliance advice across the organisation.
  • Take the lead on Compliance Advisory initiatives - working with our product team, engineers, operations and customer-facing teams to provide strong and pragmatic advice on business and customer issues, new products strategic initiatives and regulatory change.

  • Oversee the delivery of key Compliance policies, processes and controls and proactively identify and implement enhancements to them.
  • Contribute to the production and delivery of internal and governance reports.
You have...

  • Ideally you have held a senior role in Compliance at a retail investment broker.
  • You have strong knowledge of UK financial services regulations, preferably as they apply to retail investments. Knowledge of Data Privacy rules would also be an advantage.
