   Market rate salary dependent on experience

   We have a rare and exciting opportunity for an ambitious Risk and Compliance Specialist looking to progress their career to a senior level. In preparation for the retirement of our experienced and long serving Risk and Compliance Manager we are looking for someone to come into the team as a solid number two to support him and the rest of the team, whilst learning on the job in order to take over from him when he retires (currently expected to be in a few years).

   Legal industry experience is preferred as a working knowledge of Lexcel and the unique challenges that risk and compliance in a Law firm can present are vital. The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of influencing, mentoring and training at all levels of the business and will have credibility and gravitas. A holistic working knowledge of risk and compliance generally will be essential alongside demonstrable experience of AML policies and procedures as this role will be the team specialist in this area.

   The role would suit either a Solicitor/Legal Executive or someone already working as a risk and compliance manager in a Law Firm who is keen to progress to the next level in the near future and may not see that opportunity in their current structure.

   We set high standards for all members of staff. Commitment to excellent client service is at the heart of everything we do. Our Core Values and Core Competencies define how we want to conduct ourselves and our business, helping us to create a sustainable and profitable firm where people are proud to work and clients love the service.

   In return we offer a supportive and fair culture, with open doors and a friendly atmosphere. Wellbeing and Worklife balance are important to us and we strive to be flexible wherever possible. This is an exciting time for Thackray Williams as we are growing, moving our head office into a bright, modern, new collaborative and sociable work space and introducing more modern ways of hybrid and flexible working. If you would like to join us on that journey and you think you are a good fit for what we are looking for, please get in touch by sending your CV with a covering letter explaining why you feel you are a good fit for the role to recruitment@thackraywilliams.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
