Abacus is recruiting for a Compliance Officer for a leading professional services firm. This is an opportunity to step into a visible, hands-on position within a well-established professional environment, where your work directly impacts how the business operates and manages risk.
 
You’ll sit at the centre of onboarding, AML, and compliance activity. You will work closely with stakeholders across the firm to keep things moving while ensuring standards are never compromised.
 
Role:
 
Managing client onboarding from start to finish, across a range of risk levels
Carrying out AML, KYC and due diligence / cdd checks
Acting as a key contact for compliance queries from across the business
Supporting colleagues to progress matters efficiently without cutting corners
Monitoring higher-risk clients and escalating issues where needed
Getting involved in file reviews, audits, and quality assurance work
Contributing to improvements in systems, processes, and workflows.
 
It’s a role where you’ll balance risk awareness with commercial understanding — knowing when to challenge and when to enable progress.
 
Requirement:
 
You don’t need to tick every box, but the ideal profile will include:
 
Experience in compliance, onboarding, or risk within a regulated environment
A solid understanding of AML, KYC, and client due diligence processes
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities
Confidence working with stakeholders across different levels of a business
A proactive mindset — someone who spots issues and takes ownership.
Experience within legal or professional services is a strong advantage, but not essential.
Experience of Lexcel and/or ISO, internal audit is beneficial.  
 
Rewards:
Join a highly regarded company and respected compliance team
You’ll be part of a team that values quality and collaboration, not just process
Exposure to a broad range of compliance activity — not siloed into one area
A chance to influence how things are done, not just follow existing processes
A supportive environment where your development is taken seriously.
