About the Role
Level: 4
Department: HR
Location: Southampton, United Kingdom (hybrid - 2 days a week in the office)
Contract Type: Permanent
Regulated/Non-Regulated: Non-regulated
As an HR Risk & Governance Advisor, you’ll play a key role in strengthening people risk management and governance across the HR function. Working closely with Risk, Compliance and senior stakeholders, you’ll help ensure robust oversight of HR regulatory obligations, particularly in relation to SMCR.
You’ll be part of a small, specialist team and will take ownership of key processes, reporting and continuous improvement activity within HR risk and governance.
Key responsibilities include:
Supporting the ongoing development and maturity of HR risk and governance practices

Reviewing regulated references and managing SMCR-related queries
Working with stakeholders to ensure accurate governance documentation, including responsibilities mapping
Contributing to HR risk and SMCR-related projects and process improvements
Consumer Duty
Whilst this isn’t a directly customer facing role, the duties you will perform support direct overall positive
outcomes for our customers by enabling our leaders to make informed decisions which balance the trade-off between risk and reward and ensure regulatory compliance. This contributes to improved services,
customer centric outcomes, stability, responsiveness, and overall customer satisfaction.
About You
You’ll bring:
Experience in risk, governance or compliance within a large, regulated organisation (financial services desirable)
Knowledge of the UK financial services regulatory environment and HR-related regulation
An understanding of SMCR and its practical application (desirable)
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
A proactive, curious mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and be comfortable taking ownership and influencing across HR and the wider business.
