Part-Time MLRO – Property Lending

We’re working with a growing, privately owned property-focused lending business looking to appoint an experienced MLRO on a part-time basis.

The requirement is one fixed day per week, plus ideally a second floating day.

The business has an established financial crime framework and is looking for someone who can take ownership of the MLRO function, strengthen existing processes and ensure its policies remain proportionate and aligned with how the business operates.

This is a fast-paced, relationship-led environment, so they need someone who is pragmatic, commercially minded and comfortable applying risk-based judgement, particularly around more nuanced Source of Funds and Source of Wealth scenarios.

We’re looking for:

• MLRO or senior financial crime experience within lending or financial services.
• Property lending experience would be highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of AML/CDD requirements and relevant FCA expectations.
• A pragmatic and commercially aware approach to financial crime risk.
• Someone comfortable operating within a smaller, entrepreneurial business and working closely with Relationship Managers.

The role can be based anywhere in the UK and worked predominantly remotely, with an expectation of attending the London office approximately once a month.

2 days per week | £80,000-£100,000 FTE, pro rata
