The definition of ‘compliance’ within Trustmoore covers much more than rules. Our compliance agenda is not solely driven by regulations; we take time and effort to ensure that our processes are fit for purpose so that we can understand and manage our risks. We focus on ‘soft controls’ instead of checklists and strongly encourage our employees to think for themselves. As every client is different, we look for a balanced approach rather than relying on rigid procedures and checklists.
As the Risk and Compliance Officer of Fund Services, you are the interface between Fund Services’ business heads and the compliance teams in the locations where our services are offered. You will be part of our global Risk & Compliance team, which ensures that we and our clients comply with all applicable laws and regulations, supervisory requirements, and internal policies and procedures.

The primary responsibilities are:

• Monitor regulations impacting us; ensure regulatory requirements are understood and controls and operating environments are designed to meet regulations and industry standards in the relevant jurisdictions.
• Maintain expert knowledge and awareness of the investment fund industry. Stay abreast of current market, regulatory, and industry relevant news. Serve as an expert and key resource related to compliance issues.
• Provide investor relations officers, legal account managers, and fund accountants with training and advice on risk and compliance topics during the client’s life cycle (client acceptance due diligence, transaction monitoring, periodic reviews, and exit).
• Lead compliance programs to ensure the continuous effectiveness of our control and drive the identification and development of corrective action plans to resolve deficiencies in our framework.
• Set standards and metrics for operational efficiency. Develop and deliver required reporting on compliance audits to business leaders.
• Lead the development of compliance policies and procedures and partner with business leaders to oversee the implementation of compliance standards and practices.
• Participate in various projects and working groups and collaborate with compliance officers of the wider compliance team in our other jurisdictions.
• Own several group compliance policies and contribute actively to the development and maintenance of the related control framework.
• Participate in Client Acceptance Meetings, Internal Compliance Meetings, Business Compliance Meetings and Compliance Management Meetings.
