The assignment focuses on reviewing and strengthening how investment-related costs are disclosed and governed. The suitable interim professional has a background in legal, compliance or regulatory advisory within financial services, at least five years of experience in regulatory compliance, cost transparency, process governance or internal controls, strong knowledge of MiFID II / MiFIR costs-and-charges disclosure requirements, ideally in investment services or brokerage, a track record of translating regulatory requirements into policies, process maps and controls, strong analytical, written communication and stakeholder-management abilities, and experience working across Finance, Pricing, Legal and Compliance functions.
