The Firm
A leading US-headquartered alternative investment firm with approximately $50B under management across performing and distressed credit investments in North America, Europe and other regions is seeking an experienced UK qualified, regulatory and compliance lawyer or an experienced regulatory professional to take on a maternity cover
The Role
You will report to the London-based European General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer and will work alongside an experienced Legal and Compliance team based in London, Luxembourg and New York.
This is an extremely broad and varied role, and involves the following:
- Taking ownership of all day-to-day regulatory and compliance matters for the firm’s UK business and operations in Europe. Areas of particular focus include AIFMD, AML, Brexit, ESG, GDPR, IFPR, MiFID II, MNPI, the Securitisation Regulation and SMCR.
- Providing regulatory and compliance support on transactional and fund-structuring matters as required.
- Leading regulatory change projects as applicable to the firm’s UK business and its operations elsewhere in Europe.
- Managing the firm’s compliance monitoring and testing programme for the UK and liaising with the firm’s external compliance consultants as required.
- Taking responsibility for certain aspects of the firm’s compliance efforts in other parts of the EMEA region, including responsibility for the firm’s licence maintained with the Hong Kong SFC and its marketing efforts in the Middle East.
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will be either a qualified financial services regulatory lawyer, with a minimum of 3 – 4 PQE or a compliance professional with a similar level of experience. In-house experience is preferred, but not essential. Candidates must have some buy-side experience, gained either in private practice, at a compliance consultancy or in-house. The ability to manage a large number of competing priorities, projects and stakeholders at any one time and to deliver clear and concise advice to the business is essential.
