Compliance Team Leader – Business Acceptance Manchester | Birmingham | Bristol | Glasgow | Edinburgh Up to £60,000 Hybrid Working - 2 days in office

We’re working with a fabulous growing national law firm who are looking to appoint a Compliance Team Leader into their established Risk & Compliance function. This is a brilliant opportunity for an existing Team Leader, Supervisor or experienced Senior Analyst who has strong experience across both AML/CDD and Conflicts and is ready to take on more responsibility.

The Role?

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day supervision of Compliance Analysts while remaining hands-on with complex Business Acceptance matters.

  • Line managing and supporting junior and senior Analysts
  • Managing workflow and allocating work across the team
  • Advising on complex CDD/KYC, AML and source of funds queries
  • Reviewing legal and commercial conflicts of interest
  • Supporting client & matter inception and risk assessments
  • Acting as an escalation point for complex or higher-risk matters
  • Advising Partners and senior stakeholders across the firm
  • Supporting process improvements, training and wider Compliance projects

About You?

  • Strong experience across AML/CDD and Conflicts
  • Experience within Business Acceptance / Client Onboarding
  • Around 4+ years' legal Compliance experience
  • Experience supervising, mentoring or reviewing junior colleagues
  • Confidence handling complex queries and making risk-based decisions

You don't necessarily need to be a Team Leader already. If you're a Senior Analyst who's already handling the difficult work, supporting junior colleagues and ready for that next step, we'd love to hear from you.

What's in it for you?

  • Salary up to £60,000
  • Hybrid working
  • Genuine progression internally
  • Broad AML, CDD, Conflicts & Business Acceptance exposure
  • Established and sizeable Risk & Compliance team
  • Excellent benefits package
