Head of Compliance in City Of London

Job description

Head of Compliance – Lloyd’s Market Insurance Business

London | Full-time, Hybrid |

Are you a Compliance Manager or Senior Manager with solid Lloyd’s market experience looking for your next big career step?

A leading player in the specialty insurance market is looking for a dynamic and experienced compliance professional to step into the role of Head of Compliance. This is your chance to take ownership of a well-established compliance framework while leading a small, high-calibre team in a broad, generalist role at the heart of a regulated Lloyd’s business.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Big Step Up: Ideal for someone operating at Manager or Senior Manager level who’s ready to take the lead and drive regulatory strategy at a senior level.
• Wide-Ranging Remit: From compliance monitoring and training to product governance, SM&CR, data protection, and regulatory liaison — no two days will be the same.
• Lloyd’s Market Focused: You’ll work closely with Lloyd’s, the FCA, and internal stakeholders to ensure continued alignment with regulatory requirements.
• Strategic & Practical: You’ll be just as involved in defining compliance frameworks as you are delivering them — in a culture that values practical, risk-based compliance.
• Key Responsibilities

As Head of Compliance, you will:

• Own and develop the business’s Regulatory Compliance Framework
• Define and maintain the Regulatory Risk Universe, policies, and internal controls
• Lead the Compliance Monitoring Plan and manage delivery through your team
• Oversee the Compliance Training Plan, including bespoke training sessions
• Track and communicate regulatory developments across the business
• Act as the key contact for regulators and market bodies, managing reviews and interactions
• Provide compliance input into new business initiatives and market opportunities
• Lead oversight of sanctions screening, complaints management, and data protection
• Maintain and enhance the firm’s SM&CR framework, ensuring continued compliance
• Advise on Product Governance and document a fit-for-purpose oversight framework
• Coordinate the annual Lloyd’s Oversight Principles self-assessment process

~

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in regulatory compliance within a Lloyd’s market firm — essential
• A blend of advisory, policy, monitoring, and oversight experience
• Ability to partner with business teams to provide clear, commercially aware compliance advice
• Strong understanding of UK regulatory frameworks, including FCA Handbook, SM&CR, and Lloyd’s oversight
• Previous exposure to areas like product governance, complaints, sanctions, and data protection
• Confident communicator with strong leadership skills and the ability to influence at all levels
