? Are you a seasoned legal operations or compliance professional seeking a fresh challenge in a dynamic, respected regional firm?
We’re working exclusively with a well-established, values-driven law firm with deep roots in the Yorkshire legal market. As they continue to grow, they are now recruiting for a newly created senior-level position — a hybrid role that combines operational oversight with regulatory leadership.
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the heart of a forward-looking legal practice in a role that truly makes an impact across every department.
? Your Core Responsibilities
- Act as the central point of contact for all risk, regulatory and compliance matters.
- Oversee AML, GDPR, CDD, and sanctions frameworks — ensuring total alignment with SRA and sector standards.
- Lead internal audits, risk assessments and file reviews.
- Maintain and regularly update firmwide policies and procedures.
- Support SRA audits and proactively manage the firm’s compliance register.
- Embed a culture of risk-awareness through education, leadership and engagement.
? Operational Management
- Oversee staff onboarding and induction processes, managing a small team.
- Act as Client Services Manager — handling client complaints sensitively and effectively.
- Evaluate, enhance and implement compliance systems and software solutions.
- Deliver engaging training sessions across the firm, ensuring full understanding of risk protocols.
- Collaborate with the senior team to shape strategic decisions with risk-focused input.
? What We’re Looking For
️ At least 3 years’ experience in compliance, risk or operations in a law firm or other regulated sector (e.g. financial services)
️ Strong understanding of SRA rules, AML legislation, GDPR and related frameworks
️ A confident communicator who can influence and educate across all levels
️ Proactive, hands-on, and tech-literate
️ Experience managing client complaints or regulatory queries is a plus
? Law degree or legal qualification desirable, but not essential
? The Culture
This firm offers a modern, inclusive and people-focused environment where collaboration and continuous improvement are core values. You’ll be supported and empowered to grow — professionally and personally.
- Long service awards (up to 6 weeks’ holiday entitlement)
- Funded training and CPD
- Mental health support and eye care contributions
- Regular staff events, volunteer days, and wellbeing initiatives
- Enhanced leave package over the festive period
