Risk and Compliance Manager/ Senior Manager

Unity Advisory is a next generation advisory firm. Built for the AI-enabled world, we operate a lean, conflict-free, and client-centric model that embeds AI across all workstreams. With no audit practice, we do not have the audit-related conflicts which allows us to focus entirely on delivering value to clients with agility and innovative, outcome-based commercial models. Our culture is highly collaborative and flat-structured and free of traditional partner P&L silos – pursuing the best outcomes for our clients.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and proactive Risk Management Manager / Senior Manager to join our Risk team. This role is pivotal in supporting the business in managing client and engagement risk, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. The focus will be on leading the design, implementation, and oversight of robust Know Your Client (KYC) processes and engagement risk assessment frameworks across the firm’s service lines.
Responsibilities
Lead the development and enhancement of the firm’s engagement risk framework, including initial scoping, due diligence, onboarding, and acceptance processes.
Oversee client acceptance and continuance reviews, escalating high-risk matters where appropriate.
Collaborate with partners to ensure consistent application of risk protocols across tax, advisory, and deals engagements.
Oversee the management of engagement risk consultations, tracking outcomes and approvals.
Design and deliver risk training to client-facing teams to ensure appropriate understanding and compliance.
KYC and AML Compliance
Manage the KYC lifecycle for all client engagements, including initial client due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), and ongoing monitoring.
Interpret AML regulations and translate them into practical policies and procedures for client onboarding and verification.
Work closely with the central compliance function to ensure AML frameworks are up to date with regulatory requirements and market best practices.
Support internal audit and external regulatory reviews relating to AML and client onboarding processes.
Framework & Policy Development
Maintain and evolve internal engagement risk and KYC policies in line with evolving regulations (e.g., Money Laundering Regulations, Sanctions Regimes).
Implement risk scoring tools and engagement risk assessment templates to facilitate decision-making.
Act as a subject matter expert and point of escalation for complex or sensitive engagement and client acceptance issues.
Produce regular risk dashboards and reports for senior leadership, highlighting key trends, issues, and remediation actions.
Participate in internal risk committee meetings and advise on risk implications for prospective clients and engagements.
Liaise with external regulators and professional bodies, where appropriate, to stay ahead of emerging risks and regulatory changes.
Qualifications
Professional qualification in AML compliance (e.g., ICA, ACAMS) is desirable.
Degree in law, accounting / finance, risk, or a related field preferred.
A truly hybrid and flexible working environment. We offer the opportunity to be at the forefront of AI-driven advisory services. You’ll be working on cutting-edge projects and encouraged to deploy the latest analytical tools and approaches.
