- Conduct independent monitoring and reviews in line with the Compliance plan, assessing control effectiveness, identifying gaps, issuing recommendations, and tracking remediation to completion.
- Assess, report, and follow up on compliance incidents and mitigating actions, ensuring issues are investigated, escalated as needed, documented, and remediated in a timely and effective manner.
Advisory and Regulatory Engagement
- Advise the Board, CEO, and business functions on regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, and related risks to support decision-making, governance, and business objectives.
- Monitor regulatory developments and emerging expectations, assess their business impact, and translate them into clear priorities and actions for stakeholders.
- Support implementation of new regulatory requirements by partnering across functions to interpret obligations, coordinate action plans, embed changes into processes and controls, and monitor progress.
- Act as a key liaison with the SFSA, supporting regulatory interactions, submissions, and information requests, and ensuring matters are handled accurately, promptly, and with appropriate internal escalation.
- Contribute to regulatory disclosures and governance reporting, including the SFCR and RSR, by providing Compliance input and reviewing content for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory alignment.
Reporting and Stakeholder Engagement
- Prepare and deliver quarterly Compliance reporting to the SINT Risk and Compliance Committee, Board, and Group Chief Compliance Officer, providing timely updates on key risks, monitoring outcomes, incidents, regulatory developments, and progress against the Compliance plan.
- Provide independent opinions on governance matters, including conflict-of-interest and Board collective competence assessments prior to regulatory submission, to help ensure arrangements are robust, documented, and aligned with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and collaborate across functions to align business objectives with regulatory expectations, providing constructive challenge and promoting a pragmatic approach to compliance risk.
Training and Culture
- Deliver training and awareness initiatives that promote a strong culture of compliance and ethical behaviour, ensuring employees and stakeholders understand their obligations, can identify and escalate issues, and stay informed of key regulatory and policy requirements.
- Support embedding compliance principles across the SINT entity in line with global standards by partnering with business leaders and functional teams to integrate compliance expectations into day-to-day processes, decisions, and behaviours.
