Compliance Business Partner
How You'll Help Us Live Our Purpose
We've been helping our members save for their future and buy their own home since 1875. Join us and you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.
It's a purpose that drives everything we do. And you can play your part too – join our Compliance team as a Compliance Business Partner on a 12-month fixed-term contract. You'll help turn regulatory complexity into practical solutions, working with colleagues across the business to strengthen our risk culture, support confident decision-making and deliver good outcomes for customers.
How you'll make a difference
You'll be a trusted adviser to our customer-facing and operational teams, translating regulatory developments into clear, actionable guidance. From spotting changes on the horizon to helping colleagues assess gaps and put proportionate actions in place, you'll bring a practical approach to compliance. You'll also provide constructive challenge on projects and review customer communications, helping teams build regulatory requirements into the way they work.
Working as part of our second-line compliance team, you'll help colleagues respond to data breaches, incidents and review findings, using coaching and training to reduce recurring issues. You'll review risk reporting, contribute to governance discussions and help identify emerging concerns. Alongside this, you'll look for opportunities to use AI and automation to make the team's work more efficient and its advice easier for stakeholders to use.
What will you bring to the role?
You'll bring previous compliance advisory experience and a good understanding of the regulatory framework in which a building society operates. Just as importantly, you'll know how to turn that knowledge into practical support that helps colleagues find a way forward.
We're looking for
- Strong analytical skills and an eye for detail, with the ability to interpret regulatory consultations, policy statements and other publications.
- Clear, confident communication and the ability to influence stakeholders at different levels, balancing constructive challenge with collaborative problem-solving.
- A relationship-led approach that builds trust across the business and draws on external networks to share insight and good practice.
- The adaptability to respond to a changing regulatory and business environment, manage your workplan and raise barriers early.
- A commitment to integrity, an inclusive working culture and good customer outcomes, together with an interest in improving how the team works.
And in return, you'll get the best from us
- Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the office
- Annual bonus of up to 12%
- Matched pension contributions up to 10%
- 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme
- 2 days' volunteering per year
We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
