This assignment combines regulatory analysis, policy development and process governance, working closely with Finance, Pricing, Legal and Compliance.

Description

The assignment

You will assess how investment-related costs and charges are disclosed throughout the client journey, identify regulatory and control gaps, and define clear, documented ways of working.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Drafting a Cost Transparency Policy and defining the scope and structure of a related client cost-payments policy.
• Reviewing generic and client-specific pre-transaction disclosures, post-transaction reporting and invoicing.
• Assessing existing disclosures, pricing methodologies and governance against relevant MiFID II / MiFIR requirements and regulatory guidance.
• Mapping current processes, data inputs, responsibilities, approvals and key controls.
• Developing target-state processes, standard operating procedures and governance documentation across client channels.
• Presenting a prioritised improvement roadmap and defining requirements for implementation by the relevant business and technology teams.

Your profile

• A legal, compliance or regulatory-advisory background within financial services.
• At least five years of relevant experience in regulatory compliance, cost transparency, process governance or internal controls.
• Strong expertise in MiFID II / MiFIR costs-and-charges disclosures, ideally within investment services or brokerage.
• Proven experience translating regulatory requirements into policies, process maps, operating procedures and controls.
• Strong analytical, written communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Experience collaborating across Finance, Pricing, Legal and Compliance.

Experience with brokerage remuneration, commission structures, multi-country organisations or Big Four regulatory advisory would be an advantage. Technical report-development expertise is not required.
