Interim Regulatory Controller

Interim Group Prudential Controller

Location: London (Hybrid)

Industry: Fintech

Are you a seasoned prudential risk leader looking for your next big challenge? We are seeking an exceptional Group Prudential Controller to join the senior leadership team and take ownership of prudential risk across a fast-growing, regulated financial services group.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of prudential strategy in an innovative organisation, ensuring it remains ahead of evolving regulatory requirements while enabling sustainable growth.

The Role

As the Group Prudential Controller, you will act as the first line-owner of prudential risk and the primary point of contact for prudential compliance across the Group. You’ll provide strategic leadership, technical oversight, and forward-looking advice to the Board and Executive Committee, while steering critical projects that directly impact the company’s future.

You’ll also lead the delivery of the Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment (ICARA) process, ensure compliance with the MIFIDPRU regime, and oversee capital, liquidity, and regulatory reporting frameworks. This is a highly visible role with significant influence across the business.

What You’ll Do

• Provide strategic counsel on prudential risk to the Board, Group ALCO, and Risk Committees.
• Advise on prudential implications of new products, licenses, and strategic projects.
• Maintain and embed the Group’s prudential risk appetite framework.
• Lead engagement with the FCA on prudential matters, building a trusted relationship.
• Oversee the ICARA process, stress testing, capital planning, and wind-down scenarios.
• Ensure accurate and timely delivery of all prudential reporting (e.g., MIF001, MIF002, MIFIDPRU 8).
• Drive continuous improvement, using technology and automation to enhance prudential controls.

About You

We’re looking for an outstanding leader with:

• 10–15 years’ experience in prudential risk or regulatory reporting, ideally within an FCA-regulated MIFIDPRU investment firm or PRA-regulated bank.
• Deep knowledge of MIFIDPRU, IFPR, CRR, FCA sourcebooks (SYSC), and IFRS 9.
• Proven expertise in leading ICARA processes and regulatory engagement.
• Strong leadership, with the ability to influence and advise at Board level.
• Professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CFA, or FRM) highly desirable.
• Exceptional communication skills, integrity, and commercial mindset.

Why Join?

This is a senior, high-impact leadership position within a growing financial services group. You’ll have the chance to operate at the heart of a fast-scaling, highly regulated environment, with the autonomy to shape how the business manages prudential risk and capital across the Group.

If you’re ready to bring your expertise to an organisation where prudential leadership is critical to success, we’d love to hear from you.
