Interim Head of Compliance – Leading Fund Manager

At the start of the first lockdown, Fram started working with a leading fund manager, who were keen to hire an interim head of compliance. The firm has a close team who have seen the firm grow over the last few years, and not only was it key that the individual was a strong technical fit, they also needed to fit into the firm's culture. It is a diverse role and the position holder had to have expertise across a wide range on functions.

At the time Fram were instructed the firm had struggled to find some with in-depth experience across all areas. There was one final challenge, lockdown. It was highly likely that the hiring process would be entirely remote, which is normal now, but was new for everyone at the time.

Fram draw up a plan for the assignment, which was a combination of search & selection, and we interviewed a high number of individuals before presenting the client with a pre-screen shortlist. It’s our job to save clients time and not present too many candidates. Fram helped arrange all meetings, took in-depth feedback and assisted with the offer and acceptance process, keeping in touch with all parties throughout. Within a short period of time the client appointed one of our shortlisted candidates.

Chloe has helped me obtain a role that I wouldn't have been able to find without her, very supportive along the way and keeping in touch to see how everything is going, which you don't get much of nowadays. I am extremely happy in my current job and couldn't have done it without Fram, and especially Chloe. I can't thank you enough!
