Legal & Compliance Officer

Currently, we’re hiring an early‑career / junior professional to join our Fortune 500 financial services client on a temp‑to‑perm basis, providing legal, compliance and related support across their wealth and custody products.

This is a strong entry point for junior talent to break into HNW wealth, insurance and asset‑management work, with a clear path to permanent hire and high exposure to custody, product and regulatory matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Support legal, compliance and related work across custodian arrangements and asset‑management structures for HNW client assets.
• Assist with commercial and product documentation for life insurance, investment and wealth products (including HNW insurance / VUL where applicable).
• Help coordinate new product launches, tracking approvals, conditions and documentation with internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Conduct targeted regulatory and market research, turning findings into clear, practical summaries for the business.
• Liaise with operations, front office and external service providers to resolve day‑to‑day custody and documentation issues.
• Contribute to process improvements around documentation, checks and record‑keeping to enhance control and efficiency.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Junior or early‑career professional with internship or work experience (legal/compliance or operational) in a trustee company, securities firm, custodian bank or corporate‑service provider dealing with client assets or investment products.
• Exposure to custody, asset‑management, or wealth/insurance products (HNW insurance / VUL experience is a plus but not mandatory).
• Strong critical thinking, attention to detail and documentation skills; comfortable reading and working with commercial and product agreements.
• High‑attitude hire: meticulous, resourceful, culturally aware and keen to learn, with a proactive, “no‑task‑too‑small” mindset and interest in building a career in wealth / legal / compliance.
