The ideal candidate will have previous exposure to data protection, compliance, legal, operational tax or risk administration, preferably within a regulated financial services environment. A basic understanding of data protection legislation, FATCA, CRS or QI reporting requirements would be beneficial, alongside familiarity with client structures and CDD requirements. They will be highly organised and detail-focused, with good written and verbal communication skills, the ability to follow structured processes accurately and the confidence to escalate issues appropriately. Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office and experience using AI-enabled productivity tools, would be advantageous. Relevant qualifications in data protection, tax, compliance, risk or financial services are desirable but not essential.
