Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
One of our partners is a brilliant full-service law firm based in the North East, recognised by the Legal 500 as one of the leading firms across the North of England, nearly 50 of their lawyers recognised for their incredible work.
Now looking for someone to come on board and lead compliance for the firm reporting into the COLP working closely together to assure compliance throughout the firm.
A brilliant opportunity to work in a close-knit compliance team you will perform risk assessments, define a compliance framework, manage AML policies and procedures and lead the Lexcel accreditation process. You will also sypport the COLP with data protection and act as the main POC for ICO, Lexcel and SRA.
I'm interested in speaking to compliance professionals within the legal field, you will know about data protection and AML procedures. This role would be ideal for someone ready to take the next step to head up compliance.
What's in it for you?
