Regulatory Change Manager

Role overview

We are looking for a Regulatory Project/Change Manager to design and implement a practical, repeatable delivery approach for regulatory change initiatives and apply it to active regulatory priorities.

The role focuses on translating regulatory obligations into structured delivery plans, mobilising cross-functional teams, and ensuring clear governance, traceability, and execution discipline across all delivery activities.

This is not a traditional PMO role . The emphasis is on building structure from regulatory interpretation, coordinating delivery across multiple stakeholders, and ensuring alignment to underlying regulatory requirements throughout the lifecycle of change.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement a practical regulatory change delivery approach , including scope definition, governance structure, stage gates, reporting, RAID management, and traceability mechanisms
• Translate interpreted regulatory and legal requirements into clear, actionable delivery scope and implementation plans
• Identify impacted business areas and define appropriate delivery approaches (projects, workstreams, or BAU changes)
• Mobilise and coordinate current regulatory change initiatives, including initiation, stakeholder alignment, planning, and governance cadence setup
• Coordinate delivery across Legal, Regulatory Affairs, Compliance, Risk, Technology, and First Line of Defence (1LoD) teams
• Track progress, dependencies, risks, issues, and key decisions
• Provide clear, concise reporting for senior stakeholders and governance forums
• Maintain end-to-end traceability between regulatory obligations and delivery outputs

Required experience

• 6+ years’ experience in regulatory change, compliance transformation, or cross-functional change delivery
• Proven ability to translate regulatory or legal interpretation into structured delivery plans and implementation actions
• Experience coordinating delivery across multiple business functions or domains
• Strong understanding of governance, RACI structures, RAID management, controls, evidence, and auditability
• Experience in regulated environments such as financial services, payments, market infrastructure, or similar sectors is preferred but not essential

Skills & capabilities

• Ability to create structure in ambiguous environments and turn it into practical delivery execution
• Strong delivery management skills, including planning, dependency tracking, and issue resolution
• Ability to design lightweight, reusable change frameworks
• Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence without direct authority
• Clear, structured communication, especially in senior governance reporting
• Comfortable working across Legal, Compliance, Risk, Technology, and 1LoD teams
• Strong understanding of controls, evidence management, and regulatory traceability
