About Eversheds
Eversheds Agile now includes Financial Services Compliance and Risk Professionals.
Our Compliance and Risk professionals work with clients to deliver pragmatic and robust solutions that cut through the complexity of the modern workplace and financial services regulatory landscape and inspire positive change. Eversheds Agile professionals carry out leading work for major organisations. The resources of an international firm allow all of our professionals to produce their best work and use their imagination as well as compliance and risk skills to provide a great service to our clients.
The Eversheds Agile business is part of the Eversheds Consulting practice group. The team comprises a pool of professionals called upon to work in our clients offices or remotely, working independently as experts with the option to consult Eversheds' team of specialist regulatory compliance professionals as well as lawyers where appropriate.
Eversheds Agile professionals can add value to financial services firms in one of two ways:
1) By adding expert resource to clients' existing compliance and risk teams - to provide specialist, hands-on advice in respect of business as usual compliance / risk activities or as part of a project team (from the standard and routine to the unusual and complex).
2) By being part of a multidisciplinary team, working alongside the Eversheds Regulatory Directors to deliver on projects, including S166 projects.
We are looking for Agile Professionals from across the UK.
You will contribute positively to the effectiveness of the Eversheds Agile business, by providing a high quality service to our clients, acting both in accordance with the clients wishes and the Firms’ professional standards.
Key responsibilities:
· Providing pragmatic and tailored solutions to meet clients’ needs.
· Supplementing the resources of an in-house compliance / risk team or to provide specialist advice on a project.
· Helping develop the Eversheds Agile business by establishing credibility and building relationships with our internal client base (compliance and legal teams) and our external clients by gaining their respect and trust - helping to ensure repeat business.
· Identifying and acting on potential opportunities, assisting in the preparation of proposals and presentations for new business.
· Managing client expectations and acting as one of the main contacts and representatives of the Firm.
· Working on client sites as required, undertaking specific compliance / risk related projects as directed by the client.
· Working closely with our existing regulatory consulting team and legal teams to ensure client needs are understood and met.
Skills and experience:
You will be an experienced financial services compliance professional who has proven expertise and experience. Industry qualifications are highly desirable; for example, QCF level 4 or above.
You must have proven commercial acumen, highly developed client engagement skills as well as specialist knowledge to succeed in this role. You will ideally have experience in industry, in consulting and/or with a regulator. You will need to have the ability to manage varied workloads as well as a flexible and pro-active approach.
We would also like to hear from people who may be new to contract compliance work / consultancy.
You must be prepared to be flexible and thrive on varied and unpredictable workload. Travel throughout the UK will be required and may be at short notice depending on the client needs.
Key competencies:
We’re a modern, progressive law firm. We think differently and we’ve built a culture where individual skills and personalities can shine through. At Eversheds, we believe that innovation comes from having an inclusive culture of genuine equality and diversity and we’re happy to help with any reasonable adjustments you may require in the recruitment process, or once in post.
Eversheds endeavours to recruit and fill vacancies directly. However, when we do need to engage with agencies, Eversheds operates within a preferred supplier list.
