(Hybrid – 3 days/week in office) | 12-Month FTC (strong intent to go permanent) | £75,000–£95,000 + benefits.
A leading, adviser-owned financial advisor — spanning wealth management, protection, mortgages and pensions — is looking for an experienced Head of Proposition Governance to lead and evolve its proposition governance capability.
Following a significant recent capital investment and new (internal promotion) senior leadership, the business is in a genuine growth phase — expanding its adviser base and its product range. This is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal moment and shape governance across a proposition set that's actively evolving.
This is a governance and oversight role, not a hands-on product-building one. You'll be the person ensuring the product range is good for customers, commercially sound, and defensible to regulators — owning the framework, chairing the committees, and holding the business to account
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead the design, delivery and continuous improvement of the Proposition Governance Framework, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements, Consumer Duty and group risk appetite
- Own the end-to-end Proposition Development & Management Framework — covering in-house and third-party products, due diligence, target market analysis and periodic review of existing propositions
- Chair and manage key governance forums, including the Proposition Management Committee and Product Review Committee
- Use market insight, customer data and competitor analysis to identify opportunities and support strong customer outcomes
- Provide clear governance reporting to senior leadership and boards
- Manage provider/supplier relationships, including commercial negotiation
- Lead and develop a small, established team
What You'll Need
- Significant senior-level experience in financial services and product/proposition governance
- A strong track record in proposition development and governance within a regulated environment
- Excellent working knowledge of the regulatory landscape, including Consumer Duty and its impact on customer outcomes
- Broad knowledge across wealth, insurance and mortgages — including provider, competitor, market and adviser dynamics
- Experience in supplier selection, commercial negotiation, and influencing senior stakeholders, committees and boards
- Confidence chairing committees and presenting to senior leadership
- A relevant professional or postgraduate qualification is advantageous
This is a fast moving position - we encourage you to apply now and the team will be in touch shortly.
Goodluck!
