Senior Risk and Compliance Leader

We are seeking a highly experienced professional to serve as the Head of Risk and Compliance for our Irish branch. This senior leadership role incorporates responsibility for both PCF-12 (Head of Compliance) and PCF-14 (Head of Risk) under the Central Bank guidance.

The successful candidate will act as a primary liaison with the Central Bank of Ireland across both the risk and compliance domains, including supervision, thematic inspections, and regulatory engagement. The role sits within the second line of defence and holds independent oversight over the branch's regulatory compliance and enterprise risk frameworks.

  • This is an opportunity to take ownership of a fully integrated risk and compliance function in a CBI-regulated branch with strong international support.
Key Responsibilities

Compliance (PCF-12)

  • Maintain effective oversight of all regulatory obligations under Irish and European law.
  • Own and maintain the Compliance Framework, including regulatory inventory, compliance risk assessments, monitoring plans, policies, and procedures, breach registers, and issue management.
  • Lead the annual compliance monitoring plan, oversee execution, and present findings, trends, and remediation to the Board and senior management.
  • Ensure timely gap analysis, impact assessments, and implementation of new rules and guidance.
  • Advise business and functional teams on compliance requirements for new products, services, operational models, and material changes.
  • Act as primary contact point for regulatory compliance matters with the Central Bank of Ireland, coordinating responses to information requests, PRISM engagements, inspections, and thematic reviews.

Risk Management (PCF-14)

  • Identify, assess, manage, and monitor all material risks – including operational, conduct, market, credit, and outsourcing – ensuring alignment with Group risk strategy and regulatory expectations.
  • Maintain and update the branch's Risk Appetite Statement, risk register, and associated Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).
  • Deliver regular risk MI, dashboards, and thematic analysis to the Board, Risk Committee, and senior leadership, escalating emerging risks and issues promptly.
Required Skills and Qualifications

The ideal candidate should possess:

  • 10+ years of experience in regulatory compliance and/or enterprise risk management within regulated financial institutions, ideally in banking, custody, or investment fund servicing environments.
  • Prior experience in a PCF/SMF or senior second-line leadership role with regulatory accountability.
  • Deep knowledge of the CBI's Fitness & Probity regime, risk management guidelines, and regulatory compliance expectations.
  • Strong understanding of Irish and European regulations relevant to the firm's activities.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage independent relationships with regulatory authorities.
  • Experience preparing governance reporting and regulatory submissions.
Benefits

This role offers a competitive compensation package, opportunities for further progression, and a collaborative culture with a hybrid working model.

Others

This is an exciting opportunity to operate at the interface of financial services, governance, and regulation, directly supporting systemic resilience and regulatory engagement.
