We help people live their best lives. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments. At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging. 

We're looking for a Senior Conduct Risk Manager to join our Conduct Risk team on a permanent basis.

You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, providing expert advice, oversight and constructive challenge on regulatory matters. The role will play a key part in supporting strategic and regulatory change, translating FCA and PRA requirements into practical business solutions and ensuring projects deliver compliant and customer-focused outcomes. Alongside this, you'll help support and develop the Conduct Risk team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Support the Head of Conduct Risk in identifying, assessing and managing conduct and regulatory risks across the business.

• Provide expert advice, oversight and challenge to senior stakeholders on regulatory requirements and conduct risk matters.

• Assess and interpret FCA and PRA regulatory developments, ensuring requirements are effectively applied within the organisation.

• Support strategic and regulatory change initiatives, helping to deliver compliant outcomes for customers and the business.

• Analyse key risk information, identify emerging risks and provide insight and recommendations to support decision-making.

• Build strong relationships across the business, influencing stakeholders and promoting a positive risk and compliance culture.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Strong knowledge of FCA regulation and experience interpreting regulatory requirements and applying them within a regulated business.

• Proven compliance or conduct risk experience, ideally within the life and pensions sector.

• Demonstrable line management experience, with the ability to lead, coach and develop a high-performing team.

• Experience supporting or leading the implementation of regulatory change and translating regulations into practical business actions.

• A track record of working on strategic change initiatives or large projects, ensuring regulatory requirements are considered from concept through to delivery.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess, challenge and interpret complex information and identify key risk exposures.

• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility and challenge effectively at all levels.

• A collaborative approach and a strong cultural fit, with a desire to work as part of a supportive and high-performing team.

What’s in it for you?

• We’re serious about your future and our enhanced pension scheme is now in place.  We ask you to contribute 3% of your salary to your pension and we’ll put in 9%.  If you decide to contribute more, we’ll match it up to a combined total of 20% of your salary (that’s 7% from you and 13% from us). 

• A discretionary bonus, depending on personal and company performance

• Annual car allowance
