Trust is fundamental to everything NexGen does. Our Risk & Compliance team helps enterprise clients navigate a complex and rapidly evolving regulatory landscape — particularly at the intersection of AI, data, and financial services.
We combine deep regulatory knowledge with a practical, outcomes-focused approach that helps clients build programmes that are both compliant and commercially sustainable.
About the role
In this role, you will lead risk and compliance advisory work for some of NexGen's most complex client engagements. You will be the person clients turn to when they need to understand what regulation means for them in practice, not just on paper.
You will bring specialist expertise, sharp analytical thinking, and clear communication to help clients understand and address their regulatory obligations. You will design frameworks that are proportionate, effective, and commercially sensible, and you will help embed them into the way clients actually work.
This is a role for someone who believes that compliance, when done well, is an enabler of trust and innovation rather than a barrier to it.
What you'll do
- Lead risk and compliance advisory engagements for enterprise clients across financial services, technology, and regulated industries
- Conduct gap assessments against relevant regulatory frameworks, identifying practical priorities and remediation paths
- Design and implement compliance programmes, governance structures, and risk frameworks that clients can operate day to day
- Advise clients on emerging regulation including EU AI Act, DORA, GDPR, and sector-specific obligations
- Produce high-quality deliverables including reports, frameworks, policies, and board-level briefings
- Train and coach client teams to build sustainable compliance capability, rather than dependency on external advisors
What you'll bring
- Deep knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks (GDPR, EU AI Act, ISO 27001, or equivalent)
- Experience in a risk, compliance, or regulatory advisory role
- Excellent analytical and written communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously
- Professional qualifications in compliance or risk management are highly valued
What we offer
- Competitive salary with performance bonus
- Flexible working arrangements
- 25 days annual leave plus public holidays
- Annual CPD and certification budget
- Private health insurance
- Team events and offsites
