Description

Reporting to the Head of International Compliance, the Compliance Manager (International) plays an important role in ensuring that the international compliance function delivers the CFC Group compliance plan, including the implementation and operation of an effective compliance programme and compliance systems and controls applicable to the Group's international trading subsidiaries.

The role has a broad and varied mandate, covering international licencing, financial crime and regulatory compliance controls, alongside monitoring the effectiveness of those controls. The Compliance Manager will also be supporting the compliance leadership team on strategic Group projects.

Key Responsibilities

As International Compliance Manager, you will be a senior member of the global compliance team, accountable for embedding and enhancing CFC Group's compliance strategy across its international regulated entities and business operations. This includes the design, implementation, and oversight of a forward-looking compliance programme that meets the regulatory expectations of international jurisdictions in which CFC Group has regulated subsidiaries: the United States, Canada, European Union, and Australia.

You will act as a subject matter expert on international regulatory risk, providing compliance advice and guidance to senior leadership and regional stakeholders, while also managing day-to-day oversight activities, compliance controls and regulatory change monitoring. You will support the Head of International Compliance in executing strategic initiatives such as licensing expansion into new jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities:

Design and implement the international component of the Group's compliance plan, ensuring global operations are compliant with applicable local/federal regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, Australia and Canada. Manage and oversee licensing obligations and regulatory filings for international entities. Maintain a centralised view of licensing status, renewal cycles, and approval dependencies across jurisdictions. Provide high-quality compliance input into strategic business projects, including regulatory licensing applications, and corporate expansions or restructuring. Track regulatory developments across key jurisdictions, including Lloyd's updates, and interpret implications for CFC's products and operations. Lead horizon scanning efforts and proactively brief senior stakeholders on changes affecting business lines. Develop and implement international compliance policies and operational controls to address regulatory requirements in key areas: licensing, product distribution, financial crime (AML/CTF/sanctions), data privacy, conduct of business, and regulatory reporting. Perform cross-jurisdictional gap analyses and lead remediation plans where local requirements diverge from Group standards. Prepare appropriate MI, KPIs, and reporting metrics for the CFC Group Board, committees and senior leadership forums. Develop and deliver a structured and engaging compliance training programme tailored to regional regulatory nuances. Champion a proactive compliance culture within international markets. Provide commercially astute, risk-sensitive regulatory advice to central and local business functions, underwriting teams, and product developers on international compliance queries.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

You will be an exceptional communicator, both written and oral, confident in presenting to a wide variety of stakeholders, including the Board and international regulators, as required. You will also have experience and skills including but not limited to:

Well-developed international regulatory and compliance know-how, combining strong technical skills with a pragmatic, commercially sensitive approach to regulatory problem-solving. Ability to develop strong relationships with key stakeholders, both internal and external, and to work collaboratively. Minimum 7 years' experience in regulatory compliance roles within financial services or insurance, with a focus on multi-jurisdictional regulatory compliance. Experience of working at a Lloyd's Managing Agent, MGA or broker would be directly applicable. Demonstrable knowledge of international regulatory frameworks including FCA (UK), Lloyd's, U.S. Departments of Insurance, OSFI and provincial regulators in Canada, EIOPA (EU) and/or FSMA (Belgium), and ASIC (Australia).
