HR Regulatory Oversight Lead – Associate Director

Global Investment Manager | City of London (hybrid) | Permanent

Lead the change. Build the model. Step up into senior leadership.
Our client, a leading global investment manager, is redesigning how it manages people-related regulation across its international business. It is replacing separate regional approaches with one consistent, data-driven global model, and it needs a leader to make that happen.

Why this role stands out

• Real change to lead. You’ll streamline and modernise how the function works, with better processes, better systems and better reporting.
• International scope. You’ll lead a team spread across the UK and Asia, supporting multiple jurisdictions.
• Senior visibility. You’ll work closely with HR, Compliance, Company Secretariat, Technology and business leaders, and report to senior committees and Boards.
• Room to grow. The role offers a genuine path into senior leadership for the right person.


What's expected of you

• Lead, develop and motivate a multi-location team, building strength and resilience across it.
• Work with Compliance to turn regulation into clear, practical processes, covering SM&CR, fitness and propriety, competence, conduct, and regulatory remuneration.
• Oversee regulatory approvals, certifications, references and regulator submissions from start to finish.
• Own the governance and control framework, and keep regulatory records accurate and well maintained.
• Run governance forums and give senior stakeholders clear, insightful reporting.
• Drive simplification, automation and system improvements.


Your experience will include:

• People leadership. Hands-on experience leading teams. Matrix or regional leadership counts.
• International perspective. Experience overseeing activity across more than one country or region.
• Regulatory judgement. The ability to interpret regulation and put it into practice, ideally within financial services.
• Ownership. You take on problems, make decisions and see things through.


Your leadership and international experience don’t need to come from the same role. If both run through your career, we’d like to hear from you.
