Fractional Executive Opportunity

About This Fractional CCO Opportunity in London

We are seeking an experienced Fractional CCO (also known as a Part-Time Compliance Director) to provide strategic compliance leadership to regulated companies across London. This is a portfolio role offering 1-3 days per week, with remote and hybrid working options available.

As London's financial services sector continues to grow, the FCA has increased its focus on senior management accountability. Many firms require experienced compliance leadership but cannot justify a full-time CCO hire.

What Does a Compliance Director Do in a Fractional Capacity?

As a Part-Time CCO, you will establish and oversee compliance frameworks while acting as a key interface with regulators. The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) recognises that compliance leadership is critical for regulated businesses.

Key responsibilities include regulatory strategy and compliance framework design, FCA/PRA relationship management, compliance monitoring and testing programmes, policy development and implementation, training and culture embedding, and board reporting and risk management.

Day Rates in London

This role offers day rates of £850-£1,400 depending on regulatory complexity and sector. According to Glassdoor UK, fractional CCOs working 2-3 days per week can achieve annual earnings of £170,000-£280,000.

The International Compliance Association (ICA) reports strong demand for experienced compliance professionals across all regulated sectors.

Who Should Apply?

Ideal candidates will have 15+ years in compliance leadership with deep experience in FCA-regulated environments. ICA, CISI, or equivalent certification is expected. Experience with PRA requirements is valuable for dual-regulated firms.

Understanding of ICO data protection requirements is increasingly important for all compliance roles.

Working Arrangements

This role offers flexible working based in London. Around 60% of fractional compliance roles now offer hybrid arrangements, though some roles may require more on-site presence for regulatory meetings.
