What You’ll Do

As our Senior Manager for Financial Services and Governance, you’ll be responsible for scaling our UK regulatory compliance and insurance oversight activities as we grow, getting hands on in everything from new product launches to our biggest partnerships.

You’ll report to our Chief Commercial & Insurance Officer UK and have direct engagement with our UK Board of Directors and talented team members from across the business.

What you get up to day-to-day will vary, but here’s an idea of what you can expect:

• You’ll get hands on to ensure we’re effectively managing our regulatory obligations and acting in line with our insurance product terms and rules, as well as our contracts with our underwriters.
  
• You’ll lead the scaling of Open’s compliance and insurance governance strategies, processes and controls.
  
• You’ll take responsibility for all regulatory and customer outcome reporting, internally for the Board and team and externally with our underwriters and the FCA.
  
• You’ll manage our relationships with our Risk and Compliance advisors.
  
• You’ll get involved in launching new or improved products and customer experiences, and collaborating with our distribution partners, underwriters and suppliers, helping us to balance business needs and opportunities with the regulatory environment we operate in.
  
• You’ll support the development of Open UK’s distribution strategy and innovation opportunities to deliver greater value to consumers and drive better customer outcomes.
  
• You’ll keep our internal compliance documentation up to date, maintain our compliance training, and stay ahead of regulatory changes to implement them across the business.

We firmly believe your career is what you make it. There’s no shortage of things to do at Open, and in this role you’ll have exposure to all parts of our business in the UK. You’ll also get a chance to learn from, and share your own learnings and experience with, the broader global team.

With broad experience, tons of responsibility, the balance of plenty of autonomy with coaching, feedback and support, you’ll have all of the ingredients you need to develop rapidly and propel your career growth.
