What They're Looking For
- At least 12 months' experience in a compliance role within a law firm or professional services.
- Solid knowledge of AML/KYC and regulatory frameworks.
- Organised, detail-focused, and confident handling sensitive information.
- Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset.
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience with Lexcel, ISO or accreditation processes.
- A degree in Law, Business, or a related subject.
- Familiarity with compliance systems and AML databases.
What's on Offer
- Salary up to £40,000 (DOE).
