Compliance

As the financial services sector becomes ever more focused on regulation, the role of the compliance professional has become increasingly high profile. Changes in legislation, both at a national and international level, mean compliance jobs evolve constantly. Moving positions demands a recruitment consultancy that understands the sector inside out.

The Compliance division at Morgan McKinley sources experienced and qualified legal and compliance professionals for permanent, temporary and contract roles in Investment Banking, Asset Management, Hedge Funds, Retail Banking, General Insurance, Stock Broking, Private Banking and Life & Pensions.

The senior consultants in the division all have over ten years’ specialist financial recruitment experience. We prefer a collaborative approach with both our clients and our candidates to ensure the perfect match between all parties in terms of skills, experience and cultural fit. This honest, determined method leads to a loyal client base, an active database of professionals and above all, a proven track record.

The Compliance division recruits at all levels of seniority, from law graduates up to Heads of Compliance, in the following areas:

• Advisory
• AML/KYC
• Control Room/Research
• Data Protection
• Financial Promotions
• Monitoring/Surveillance
• Training and Competence
• Transactional lawyers across all asset classes

Typical salaries range from £25,000 to £150,000+ and for lawyers from £60,000 to £150,000 basic. Temporary compliance roles command from £15+ per hour up to £50 per hour for project roles. The division provides the same high levels of service you would expect from Morgan McKinley, regardless of salary level. Our carefully selected candidates all have either previous relevant experience or strong academic backgrounds, with law degrees in place.

Their words, not ours ...

I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan McKinley’s Compliance team in successive employments – both to recruit staff and as a candidate for employment myself. I have found the Consultant I dealt with to be honest and professional, with a straightforward, practical approach and finely developed inter-personal skills. He is well-informed and well-connected and always available for informal advice on current market condition, his finger is on the pulse.
