The Risk & Compliance team deals with client due diligence and conflicts queries for the firm across its network of offices and works alongside partners to manage complaints and claims. There is a strong anti-money laundering (AML) focus to this role, in addition to providing advice on a variety of other risk and compliance management issues which affect the firm. The successful applicant will work closely with the Head of Risk and will be responsible for the day-to-day management and supervision of a team of junior risk & compliance officers.
