Interim Compliance Consultant - Private Banking - Twe46816

We are supporting a leading global fintech with the appointment of a Compliance Consultant into a fast-paced project supporting the launch of a new private banking proposition. Sitting at the intersection of private banking regulation, front office conduct oversight and launch readiness, this role will provide specialist compliance support across a high-profile, time-critical launch, working as an additional pair of hands alongside the wider compliance and legal teams. Key responsibilities will include:

• Deliver specialist private banking regulatory oversight to support the launch of the new proposition.
• Conduct regulatory readiness and gap assessments, ensuring appropriate controls, policies and governance are established ahead of launch.
• Review customer journeys, products and operating processes to identify and remediate private banking compliance risks.
• Provide front office oversight, including conduct and complaints relating to private bankers, quality assurance of client interactions and second-line review of escalated cases.
• Support SMCR requirements, including fit-and-proper assessments for private bankers as a certified function.
• Provide regulatory guidance on the cross-border expansion of the private banking proposition into new international markets. What we're looking for We are looking for a private banking compliance generalist with broad regulatory knowledge that goes beyond the processes of any single firm. You will ideally bring:
• Private banking or wealth management compliance experience (3+ years in regulatory compliance as a minimum).
• Front office oversight experience: conduct, complaints, QA of client interactions and second-line review of escalated cases.
• Strong SMCR knowledge, including the Certification Regime and fit-and-proper assessments.
• Working knowledge of conflicts of interest and market abuse.
• Familiarity with core private banking products: discretionary portfolio management and execution-only trading (shares, bonds, ETFs). Structured products and CFDs knowledge would be a strong advantage.
• Breadth across regulatory areas rather than deep specialism in one.
• Experience of regulatory readiness or gap assessments, or cross-border expansion work, would be advantageous. Immediate availability or short notice required This is an opportunity to join a globally recognised fintech at a pivotal moment, playing a hands-on role in shaping the compliance foundations behind a major new proposition. Combining private banking expertise, front office oversight and launch readiness to help the business move fast without compromising on standards.
