The opportunity:
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Compliance Administrator to join the Assurance team within UK Compliance. The team is responsible for assuring Senior Management that Zurich UK complies with the regulatory requirements for those topics in the Compliance Risk Universe, and Group Policies. We do this by conducting assurance activities across all areas of the business, reporting our conclusions and findings to the business, recommending remedial actions to mitigate compliance and regulatory risks and ensuring good outcomes for our customers.
We work collaboratively and proactively with Risk and with Group-wide Internal Audits to deliver a proportionate, joined-up Assurance model which enhances Senior Management's understanding of regulatory risk and influences them to take appropriate action where necessary.
You will assist in delivering the established Compliance Assurance activities defined in the annual plan, through the execution of low complexity assurance tasks and associated administration, by the Group Compliance common standards and methodologies.
Other activities may include interaction with key stakeholders, and outsourcers and supporting Compliance reporting. Once established, there is also the opportunity for the job holder to contribute to the wider activities and teams across the department.
What will you be doing?
- Support and assist the Assurance team in the delivery of the activities defined in the annual plan.
- Execute low complexity assurance tasks, following the guidance and instructions given by more senior/experienced colleagues.
- Learn and understand how assurance activities examine the controls and address risks identified.
- Assist in the production of reports and system updates for assurance activities executed
- Assist in the production of reporting material to inform business management and governance committees on assurance-related matters.
- Build and maintain close working relationships with 1st line Teams and develop a good understanding of the control environment.
- Develop and maintain knowledge of legislation, regulatory requirements and Zurich Group policies and procedures

- Good verbal and written communication skills, along with an eye for detail
- You will have an appetite to learn, be well organised and willing to ask questions and challenge.
- You are highly motivated with a drive and ability to succeed at any given task.
- Good knowledge of relevant technology (MS Office applications)
- Problem-solving, interpretation and judgment skills are desirable as you may need to be able to work with some autonomy.
- Able to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders at all levels, both within and outside of Compliance.
- Whilst not essential, you may have some understanding of key financial regulations and how those requirements impact an insurance company
What will you get in return?
The salary offered for this role is between (£20,000 - £25,000) depending on experience. As well as this we offer an excellent lifestyle benefits package which includes:
