Summary
Compliance Analyst, Nest Invest
Nest Invest is on a path to becoming one of the largest asset owners in the world. Whilst Nest manages around £60bn today, that figure will grow to around £100bn or higher by the end of the decade. That scale of growth means that it is essential that Nest Invest has a culture that prioritises compliance, and has strong processes in place to ensure it meets the highest standards of conduct. We are seeking a Compliance Analyst to support the development of the compliance function within Nest Invest during the next stage of our evolution.
Nest Invest is regulated as an Occupational Pension Scheme (OPS) firm by the FCA. The compliance function supports Nest Invest to comply with regulation arising from its status as an OPS firm.
Nest Invest currently falls under the FCA’s ‘core’ Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) due to the size of assets under management and investment implementation approach. This is an exciting opportunity to help support the elevation of our compliance function to the next level, ensuring that Nest Invest continues to adhere to FCA requirements, and navigate the increasing regulatory expectations that accompany our growth trajectory.
The role holder will report to the Senior Compliance Manager within the Compliance function of Nest Invest. The role will involve close working relationships with the Head of Compliance and key stakeholders across of Nest Invest and the Nest Corporation.
The minimum criteria for this role are:
- Demonstrable experience of working in and compliance management function within an FCA regulated entity, preferably Investment Firms and/or OPS firms.
- Knowledge and experience of regulatory rules and requirements, including FCA rules and working practices.
- Strong judgement and pragmatism in navigating risk, with ability to communicate clearly and confidently
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Strong personal credibility, with the ability to engender trust, confidence and respect from colleagues
- A pragmatic attitude to problem solving, recognising that the organisation’s response to risk needs to be proportionate
- A collaborative and proactive mindset
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills
- Eye for detail
- A self-starter, with the ability to lead without supervision
- Strong analytical skills
- Excellent presentation skills
- Highly organised
