Compliance Consultant

An established and growing regulatory services firm is looking to appoint a Compliance Consultant to join its Edinburgh team.

The business acts as a regulatory host, providing FCA authorisation and ongoing supervision to a broad range of regulated firms. Its client base spans Fin Tech, MiFID investment firms, and increasingly Private Markets — including Venture Capital, Family Offices and Real Estate structures.

With a strategic expansion underway in Private Markets, this is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative team at an exciting stage of growth.

Reporting into the Head of Compliance, you will play a key role in delivering day-to-day regulatory oversight and supervision to appointed representatives and regulated clients.

This is a client-facing position focused on monitoring, oversight and advisory support. Over time, the team plans to expand its offering to include support with authorisation and licensing processes, giving scope for broader exposure and development.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Ongoing compliance monitoring and supervision of regulated firms
• Providing pragmatic advice on FCA Handbook requirements
• Supporting clients with regulatory reporting and governance matters
• Conducting compliance reviews and thematic monitoring
• Liaising with investment managers, Man Cos and end clients
• Supporting the development of internal compliance frameworks

We are open to profiles ranging from strong FCA generalists to those with exposure to Private Markets structures.

• Experience working within FCA-regulated environments
• Strong working knowledge of the FCA Handbook
• Exposure to MiFID firms or investment managers
• AIFMD knowledge (highly desirable but not essential)
• Confidence in client-facing environments
• Commercial, pragmatic approach to compliance

This role would suit someone looking for greater ownership, variety and client interaction within a supportive and well-balanced environment.
