HR Business Partner / Senior HRBP – SM&CR Focus

HR Business Partner / Senior HRBP – SM&CR Focus | Wealth Management

London

We're recruiting for a strategic, regulatory-aligned HRBP / Senior HRBP to join a well-established wealth management firm, with a strong emphasis on SM&CR ownership . Reporting to the Group Head of HR, you'll sit at the centre of HR's regulatory operating rhythm.

SM&CR — this is where you'll spend real time:

Joint (dual) ownership of the SM&CR framework with Compliance

Oversee Certification, Fit & Proper assessments, and Conduct Rules training

Own SMF/CR documentation end-to-end

Produce SM&CR MI for ExCo, Risk Committee and Board

Embed SM&CR processes across the full employee lifecycle

Work closely with T&C to keep competence frameworks, CPD and supervision MI aligned to SM&CR and MiFIDPRU

Beyond SM&CR, you'll also:

✅ Act as trusted advisor to senior leaders — org design, workforce planning, succession

✅ Lead the People Strategy across your business areas

✅ Provide strategic ER guidance on complex, senior-level cases

✅ Support MiFIDPRU people-risk and remuneration governance, including variable pay design

✅ Lead HR policy review against TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT and employment law

✅ Support compensation benchmarking, salary reviews and job evaluation

✅ Oversee the HR Administrator and drive candidate experience improvements

✅ Contribute to HR workstreams within transformation and regulatory change programmes

What we're looking for:

✅ Strong HRBP experience in a regulated environment — SM&CR essential

✅ Deep working knowledge of TC, SYSC, COBS, APER, FIT

✅ Proven senior-level ER casework and stakeholder management

✅ Comfortable producing SM&CR/conduct/people-risk MI for governance committees

✅ CIPD Level 7 desirable

Why apply?

A genuinely regulation-embedded HR role — not HR-adjacent-to-compliance, but co-owning SM&CR with it — in a firm serious about governance, with real influence at ExCo and Board level.
