Montpellier Resourcing

Up to £35,000 + Excellent Bonus & Benefits

Location: 5 days a week in the office

Due to exciting business growth, a fantastic opportunity has arisen for a diligent and proactive Junior Compliance Officer to join a leading innovator in the digital payments space.

This is an ideal entry-level or “second-step” role for a recent graduate (2:1 or above) looking to launch a career in the fast-paced world of Fintech. Whether you have completed a relevant degree (Law, Business, Criminology, or Finance) or have gained some initial office-based work experience, this role offers a comprehensive training ground in regulatory compliance.

Reporting directly to the Regulatory Compliance Manager, you will play a critical role in supporting the day-to-day operation of the firm’s regulatory compliance framework.

Duties of the Junior Compliance Officer to include:

• Framework Support: Provide second-line support to the Regulatory Compliance Manager and assist in the operation of the compliance framework.
• First-Line Assistance: Support teams by helping to interpret policies and procedures, escalating complex queries where required.
• Monitoring & Testing: Perform compliance monitoring and testing activities-such as reviews of marketing or customer journeys-to ensure we are meeting FCA standards.
• Documentation & Evidence: Gather and maintain evidence, document results, and support the tracking of any necessary remediation actions.
• Regulatory Reporting: Assist with formal submissions and notifications to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
• Registers & Logs: Maintain essential compliance registers, including breaches, complaints, and conflicts of interest.
• MI & Insights: Help prepare management information (MI) and governance reporting for senior leadership.

Requirements of the Junior Compliance Officer to include:

• Education: A 2:1 degree or above is required. We welcome applications from high-achieving graduates in Law, Economics, Business, or similar disciplines.
• Experience: 1-2 years of experience in compliance, risk, or legal is a plus, but we are also keen to hear from fresh graduates with relevant internships or a strong, demonstrable interest in financial regulation.
• Knowledge: A basic understanding of the UK financial services landscape and a desire to learn about FCA regulations.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous approach to work with excellent organisational skills.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills; you should be comfortable explaining rules to different teams.
• Attitude: A “can-do” mindset with the ability to follow instructions effectively while gradually taking on more independent responsibility.
