Regulatory Compliance Manager

Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact for regulatory queries from Sales, AM and Customer Support
• Join client and prospect calls where regulatory depth is needed
• Build and maintain a regulatory guidance library across Zinc's core regulated sectors (FCA/SMCR/CRD6, SRA, CQC, Ofsted, BPSS, BS7858), criminal record checks and Right to Work
• Design, deliver and maintain internal regulatory training and documentation - make the complex stuff click
• Keep an eye on regulatory developments and translate them into plain English guidance for non compliance colleagues
• Support client facing regulatory content and collateral
• Support RFP and tender responses that need regulatory firepower
• Partner with the Head of Regulatory Compliance, Legal Counsel and DBS Compliance Lead to keep Zinc ahead of the curve

Requirements

• 3 4+ years in a compliance role. This could be as a compliance specialist/senior analyst at a background screening firm, in house compliance at a regulatory body (e.g. FCA/PRA/SRA/CQC/Ofsted), or in house compliance at a regulated employer in one of Zinc's key sectors (financial services, healthcare, education, EYFS, legal, public sector, security)
• You'll need more than one regulatory framework under your belt (think SRA + FCA, or Ofsted + CQC) - single regulator experience alone won't give you the range this role needs
• Bonus points: experience supporting commercial or client facing teams in a compliance capacity

Skills & Knowledge

• Solid working knowledge of at least two of Zinc's core regulatory frameworks (SMCR, DBS, SRA, CQC, KCSIE, EYFS, Right to Work) - three or more is even better
• Sharp regulatory interpretation and research skills
• A knack for turning regulatory complexity into clear, plain English guidance
• Strong written communication
• Broad UK regulatory knowledge across financial services, healthcare, social care, legal or education, and how it translates into real employer obligations
• Bonus: multi sector familiarity, highly AI literate, and an interest in Zinc's product and the background screening market

Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in regulatory compliance across multiple frameworks, with the ability to translate complex regulations into clear guidance. Strong written communication skills and experience in supporting client facing teams in a compliance capacity are essential.
