London

We're recruiting for a strategic, regulatory-aligned HRBP / Senior HRBP to join a well-established wealth management firm, with a strong emphasis on SM&CR ownership. Reporting to the Group Head of HR, you'll sit at the centre of HR's regulatory operating rhythm.

SM&CR — this is where you'll spend real time:

Joint (dual) ownership of the SM&CR framework with Compliance

Oversee Certification, Fit & Proper assessments, and Conduct Rules training

Own SMF/CR documentation end-to-end

Produce SM&CR MI for ExCo, Risk Committee and Board

Embed SM&CR processes across the full employee lifecycle

Work closely with T&C to keep competence frameworks, CPD and supervision MI aligned to SM&CR and MiFIDPRU

Beyond SM&CR, you'll also:

Act as trusted advisor to senior leaders — org design, workforce planning, succession

Lead the People Strategy across your business areas

Provide strategic ER guidance on complex, senior-level cases

Support MiFIDPRU people-risk and remuneration governance, including variable pay design

Lead HR policy review against TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT and employment law

Support compensation benchmarking, salary reviews and job evaluation

Oversee the HR Administrator and drive candidate experience improvements

Contribute to HR workstreams within transformation and regulatory change programmes

What we're looking for:

Strong HRBP experience in a regulated environment — SM&CR essential

Deep working knowledge of TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT

Proven senior-level ER casework and stakeholder management

Comfortable producing SM&CR/conduct/people-risk MI for governance committees

CIPD Level 7 desirable

Why apply?

A genuinely regulation-embedded HR role — not HR-adjacent-to-compliance, but co-owning SM&CR with it — in a firm serious about governance, with real influence at ExCo and Board level. xwzovoh
