This person will investigate, resolve and report on whistleblowing disclosures in line with St.

James's Place policy and regulatory expectations, ensuring that individuals who have concerns about illegal or improper behaviour at SJP can raise these concerns in the public interest without fear of victimisation, discrimination or disadvantage.

An effective and efficient whistleblowing process enables serious issues to be resolved internally, reducing the risk of client detriment and reputational damage.

Ensure that whistleblowing disclosures are recorded, investigated appropriately and tracked effectively to conclusion, providing feedback to the whistleblower where feasible and appropriate.
Take appropriate measures to protect the identity of whistleblowers who have requested confidentiality.
Provide regular updates on whistleblowing cases to the Internal Audit Director to support reporting to the Board Audit Committee.
Maintain the Whistleblowing Policy Statement and raise awareness of whistleblowing procedures with employees, the Partnership and Partner Support Staff.

Who we're looking for:

Experience of leading investigations in relation to whistleblowing or other matters requiring similar investigative skills.
Excellent problemsolving skills, with the ability to identify how best to investigate and resolve a diverse range of whistleblowing cases.
Able to establish strong relationships across the SJP Group to enable effective investigation and resolution of whistleblowing disclosures in an appropriately confidential manner.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, putting whistleblowers at their ease, and the ability to impactfully articulate concerns and hold challenging conversations.
Possesses a strong understanding of the financial services regulatory environment in which SJP operates and the regulatory requirements relating to whistleblowing.
