Job Brief Moneybox Services Company Ltd (MBSCL) is building the next generation of financial advice: an advice service underpinned by advanced technology and the expertise of personal financial advice professionals that gives everyday people access to regulated, personalised advice across savings, investing and pensions, at a scale traditional advice has never reached. We're building MBSCL's compliance function from the ground up, and this is a chance to be part of something that could change how advice is delivered in the UK. As Compliance Manager you'll be a core member of a small, hands-on second line team covering the full compliance remit for an advice business: advice conduct and suitability, financial promotions, complaints, SM&CR, regulatory change and reporting, and financial crime. MBSCL is independent from Digital Moneybox Limited (DML), the main Moneybox operating business, but relies on DML for its platform, the Aurora advice engine, customer onboarding and a range of shared services under an intra-group agreement. So the role has two sides: building MBSCL's own compliance activities, and providing independent oversight of what DML delivers to MBSCL. You will report to MBSCL's Head of Risk and Compliance (SMF16/SMF17), with a dotted line into the wider Moneybox Risk and Compliance team, and you'll work closely with MBSCL's small executive team, the advice team and colleagues across the group. In your first six to twelve months you'll help stand up the function: designing the compliance monitoring and assurance programme, embedding the financial crime framework (including the reliance model with DML), setting up the core processes for financial promotions, complaints and regulatory reporting, and making sure compliance controls are right for go-live. This is a build role in a small team that will scale, so you'll have real scope to shape how MBSCL's compliance function works and to grow with it.
