Investment Compliance Manager
The vacancy
At the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), we provide security in retirement for our members and millions of people throughout the UK who belong to defined benefit (DB) pension schemes. Through the PPF and Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS), we compensate members for their pensions after the employer funding their pension becomes insolvent. In total, we look after over 400,000 members across the PPF and FAS. With over £30 billion in assets under management, our investments support long-term economic growth across the UK.
Our award-winning team of around 450 professionals has earned the IPE UK Pension Fund of the Year title three times in seven years. We work closely with government and industry partners to improve outcomes for scheme members, employers, and the broader pension system—playing a vital role in strengthening retirement security nationwide.
We are seeking an Investment Compliance Manager to play a pivotal role in supporting the Director of Compliance and ensuring that our Investment team consistently meets regulatory expectations and adheres to robust in-house policies.
In this highly influential position, you will take ownership of monitoring and guiding compliance across the investment function, with a particular focus on managing pre- and post-trade compliance aligned with the fund’s investment restrictions. You will work closely with key stakeholders to ensure regulatory requirements are met, offering clear, informed guidance on compliance matters and helping to embed a strong culture of risk awareness and adherence throughout the organisation.
To succeed in this role, you will bring proven investment compliance experience within Financial Services, specifically asset management, alongside a strong track record of developing, implementing and maintaining compliance frameworks, policies and procedures. You will also have hands-on experience delivering risk‑based compliance monitoring and testing programmes. Experience of managing pre‑ and post‑trade compliance modules, ideally using BlackRock’s Aladdin system, would be a strong advantage.
This role calls for an influential communicator who can build strong relationships across the organisation and with external partners such as lawyers and auditors. You will earn the trust of senior stakeholders while confidently challenging established practices and championing meaningful change. Your ability to break down complex regulatory requirements and turn them into clear, actionable guidance will make you a valued partner to the business.
If you are a committed compliance professional who takes pride in supporting responsible, well‑governed investment activity, we would be delighted to hear from you.
