In this senior, client-facing capacity, the individual will independently handle client interactions, propose and drive solutions to sophisticated compliance issues, and cultivate strong, trust-based relationships with clients and business partners as they navigate client adoption of GLG’s evolving suite of offerings. The Senior Compliance Manager will also play an important role in developing policies, best practices, and internal workflows while helping shape and execute group-level target outcomes.
This role includes leadership responsibilities across regional and global initiatives, including identifying workflow gaps, surfacing and mitigating potential risks, and taking ownership of specific components of global projects.
