Our Hong Kong Practice is looking for a highly motivated, proactive, disciplined compliance associate to provide high-quality advice to our clients. We specialize in helping clients solve complex and interesting problems, so we look for people who thrive on intellectual challenges, can roll up their sleeves to delve into issues and get satisfaction from helping clients, conduct a thorough analysis of a problem and translate that into practical advice.

Bovill associates participate in marketing and business development, assist with technical research and the production of technical materials, and participate more generally in the development and growth of the company.

Some of the areas you can expect to be involved in include

• Advise and support clients on a wide range of regulatory compliance matters
• Drafting and maintaining policies, procedures, and compliance monitoring programs
• Developing training materials and assisting in delivering training sessions
• Assisting with regulatory matters, including licensing applications and notifications to the regulators
• Carrying out compliance health checks and periodic monitoring

• A 2:1 or equivalent degree and be prepared to work towards or already hold a professional financial services qualification.
• Knowledge and experience of SFC and HKMA rules and regulations, as well as understanding the SFC’s policies and procedures, is expected.
• Strong technical knowledge of the fund management sector, or broking sector and anti-money laundering regulations.
• A passion for solving interesting problems and am interested in learning how to manage relationships with clients and the wider team.

Bovill Hong Kong is a vital part of our global strategy. However, the office is small and therefore needs to leverage the resources of Bovill Singapore and the other global offices (London and New York). An ability to foster good working relationships with global colleagues is therefore critical.

Given the technical nature of our work, exceptional written and oral communication skills and great attention to detail are paramount.

In return, we offer

• The opportunity to work in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving, stimulating environment
• Robust career development support – mentoring, coaching, relevant training, and development – enables your progression to a consultant.
• The opportunity to work closely with, and learn from, our global team of regulatory experts who are genuinely committed to assisting your development
• A small informal company environment with minimal bureaucracy
• A competitive salary, performance-related discretionary bonus, and generous benefits package
