Client Compliance Manager – Funds Focus – Key Person Pathway – Jersey
Are you a compliance professional with funds experience, looking to move into a client-facing role where you’ll be trained and developed into a regulated Key Person?
Would you thrive in a tight-knit, respected business that’s prides itself on it’s entrepreneurial and positive, happy culture? Do you want daily interaction with boards, directors and compliance counterparts – not just quarterly meetings?
This is the role that that accelerates your career. Get in touch asap as it won’t hang around long!
About the Team
Our client is a leading fund and corporate services business, where the Client Compliance Services Team is unique: they’re appointed directly to client boards as Key Persons, rather than operating in a central back-office compliance function.
The team is led by senior figures with deep expertise; they’re known and respected across the business for delivering exceptional service.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll support and gradually step into Key Person roles (MLRO/MLCO) for a varied portfolio of client entities, including:
- Schedule 2 businesses
- Private equity, real estate, hedge funds, and carry vehicles
- Regulated structures across FSB, TCB, CIF, AIF, JPF and VPF regimes
Your responsibilities will include:
- Helping develop, implement and maintain a client-facing compliance framework
- Drafting clear, high-quality compliance reports for client boards
- Supporting and shadowing Regulated Key Persons with a view to succession
- Conducting ad hoc testing and contributing to compliance monitoring programmes
- Building direct relationships with client compliance teams, boards and regulators
- Assisting in regulatory responses and governance forums
You’ll also contribute to strategic compliance improvements and have the chance to shape how tools, templates and processes evolve. Client interaction is frequent and meaningful – this isn’t a back-office function.
What We’re Looking For
- Either a funds services career followed by 2–3 years’ experience in compliance or a through and through Funds Compliance professional with 5+ years experience.
- A solid understanding of AML/CTF responsibilities
- Exposure to or appetite for Schedule 2 business types and fund structures
- A clear trajectory or ambition to become a Key Person in Jersey
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Confidence to interact with senior stakeholders and external boards
You’re likely working at Assistant Manager or Manager level now and ready for a step up into a client-facing role with accountability. Alternatively, you may be in a larger firm where promotion is blocked and looking for a more entrepreneurial, meritocratic environment
Why Join?
- Pathway to Regulated Key Person responsibilities in a careful and sustainable manner
- Work with a stable, high-quality team who’ve retained the best of their pre-acquisition culture
- Frequent, direct client exposure with meaningful impact
- Training, development and full qualification support
- Hybrid working: 3 days in-office, 2 from home (full-time role)
