Bank Aston are seeking a hands-on Compliance Manager to act as deputy to the Compliance Officer, MLRO and MLCO within its growing Compliance Office. Bank Aston offers a unique opportunity to help shape and embed a robust second line compliance function from the ground up. The role is responsible for delivering the Compliance Monitoring Programme, conducting testing and thematic reviews, supporting AML/CFT/CPF oversight activities, maintaining compliance policies and registers, and producing management information for senior management and the Board. The successful candidate will work closely with operational, technology and customer teams to ensure regulatory requirements are effectively embedded across the Bank.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced compliance professional who enjoys combining regulatory expertise with practical delivery. The role includes conducting financial crime investigations, carrying out customer due diligence quality assurance, evolving compliance registers, tracking remediation actions and helping the Bank prepare for audits and regulatory engagement. Candidates should have experience within a regulated financial services environment, a strong understanding of GFSC AML/CFT/CPF requirements, excellent analytical and stakeholder management skills, and a commitment to maintaining high standards in a fast-paced environment. Professional qualifications such as ICA or ACAMS are desirable.

We are looking for a Risk Controller to play a meaningful role in shaping Bank Astonโ€™s risk framework from the ground up. Working directly with the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, you will be involved in the design, implementation and ongoing enhancement of the bank's enterprise-wide risk management framework, gaining exposure to all aspects of risk within a modern banking environment. Unlike many risk roles that focus on a single discipline, this position provides broad experience across operational risk, credit risk, interest rate and FX risk, financial crime, compliance, technology and outsourcing risk, governance, regulatory engagement and emerging risks. You will help ensure that the bank's policies, controls and risk management practices support both regulatory compliance and sustainable business growth.

Day-to-day, you will support risk assessments, evolve risk registers, design and test controls, develop and prepare risk reporting, and contribute to Board and committee papers that help drive informed decision-making at the highest levels of the organisation. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across the business, assist with policy development, regulatory submissions and audit activities, and help coordinate actions arising from reviews and risk assessments. The role also offers the opportunity to work with modern technology, data analytics and AI-enabled tools to improve reporting and risk oversight. With direct mentoring from the Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, structured training and significant exposure to senior leadership, this role is ideally suited to an ambitious individual who wants to understand how a bank operates end-to-end, build deep expertise in risk management, and develop into a future leader within the profession.

NEW EVENT LAUNCH!

Weโ€™ve all met one at some point in our careers; the evasive, dishonest or manipulative colleague (sometimes all three in one person)!

This short breakfast session explores the behaviours to look out for, early actions to prevent escalation and how to manage when it becomes apparent things are going seriously wrong. Weโ€™ll take a look at some real life examples and what worked and what didnโ€™t. Weโ€™ll consider the impacts on workplace teams and managers (they can be exhausting) and weโ€™ll also consider what to do when our dishonest/manipulative colleague attempts to weaponise the law and your policies against you.

Itโ€™s always great to hear your examples and, as always, weโ€™ll have an open session where you can ask our consultants about any burning employment issues.

This event is taking place on 15th September at 1857 Restaurant & Bar. Aim to arrive for 7:45am, help yourself to the breakfast options provided and be seated ready for the speaker to start at 8:00am.

It's free to attend and tickets for this event are available below:

TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT!

Weโ€™re pleased to announce that Philippa Ellyatt has joined the team as a Payroll Administrator in our Guernsey Office.

Philippa joined earlier this month, bringing more than 23 years of experience in the finance industry, along with a diverse background across healthcare, aviation and administration. After gaining valuable experience in a variety of roles, she was keen to return to an office-based environment where she could put her strong organisational skills, attention to detail and extensive financial services experience to good use.

This expansive range of experience enables Philippa to approach every task with professionalism, adaptability and a practical, solutions-focused mindset, perfect for the hustle and bustle of our busy Payroll department.

Outside of work, Philippa enjoys running, cycling and keeping active, exploring Guernsey with her dog, spending time in the garden and making the most of family time. Sheโ€™ll also be the first to admit that cooking isnโ€™t one of her strengths - but thankfully for us, thatโ€™s not part of her role!

Welcome to the team Philippa, weโ€™re very happy to have you onboard!
