** Objective of Role:
** LaSalle is seeking a highly skilled and motivated person to join our team as Deputy CCO for LaSalle Investment Management Distributors, a registered broker dealer. The ideal candidate will have an in-depth knowledge of broad compliance matters relating to both broker dealer and investment advisory activities, along with a deep understanding of the related regulatory requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with the Americas CCO in the ongoing development and implementation of the firm’s compliance programs, with a defined pathway to a senior compliance role within the firm’s broker-dealer operating in the United States and the exempt market dealer in Canada.

Given the overlap between the regulated businesses, however, this role will support all aspects of the firm’s compliance program, including providing regulatory guidance to business partners throughout the firm, conducting and/or facilitating the testing program, and administering the firm’s compliance policies and procedures.

This is a role that presents an attractive growth opportunity and will play a key role within a global, well-respected real estate investment advisor, which will provide the candidate with valuable exposure to various compliance areas, both in the U.S. and internationally, and opportunities to collaborate and engage with business executives.  A key expectation of the role is the desire to work independently, build consensus, the ability to apply sound judgement, and thoughtful guidance when addressing complex business questions that intersect with compliance policies and procedures.

This role will appeal to individuals who enjoy working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, are curious by nature and interested in expanding their skill sets, along with enjoying the challenges of adapting to new and evolving regulatory requirements.
