Senior Consultant / Consultant - Payment Services

London (Hybrid, 3 days per week in the City office)

The worlds of payments, e-money, cryptoassets and fintech continue to evolve at pace. Regulatory expectations are becoming more complex, business models are becoming more innovative, and firms need practical, commercially focused advice to navigate both.

We're partnering with a highly respected specialist regulatory consultancy that is experiencing significant growth. As a result, they're looking to appoint either a Senior Consultant or Consultant, depending on experience, to join a team that works at the forefront of regulatory change across payments, e-money, crypto and wider digital finance clients.

This is an opportunity to work with some of the most innovative businesses in the market while developing your expertise alongside recognised regulatory specialists. You'll combine technical compliance knowledge with genuine client partnership, helping firms solve complex regulatory challenges and achieve their commercial ambitions.

The Opportunity

Joining a collaborative and highly regarded consulting team, you'll work directly with regulated firms across the digital finance ecosystem, supporting them through every stage of their regulatory journey.

You'll advise clients on FCA requirements, contribute to regulatory projects, conduct compliance reviews, support authorisation and variation of permission applications, and help businesses build effective governance and compliance frameworks.

For those joining at Senior Consultant level, there will also be opportunities to mentor colleagues, take ownership of key client relationships, contribute to thought leadership and play an active role in developing new business opportunities.

This is an ideal move for someone who enjoys variety, values client interaction and wants to build a long-term career in a business where expertise, autonomy and progression are genuinely encouraged.

Strong understanding of FCA regulation and compliance frameworks

Experience supporting regulated firms with compliance monitoring and regulatory projects

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

The ability to translate technical regulations into practical business solutions
