### Why is this role important for Pennylane?

Pennylane is building Pennylane Financial Services (PFS), a newly created regulated subsidiary applying for ACPR authorisations as a payment institution and a financing company.

From day one of licensing, PFS must be able to operate in full regulatory compliance - not only through policies, but through reliable execution: clear ownership, predictable reporting routines, auditable evidence, and effective coordination across Operations, Finance/Accounting and Compliance & Risk.

This role is critical to organise and run that regulatory function, with the ambition to progressively consolidate regulatory reporting ownership within PFS.

### How will you contribute to the project?

You will help build and operate the regulatory office of Pennylane Financial Services, working across Compliance & Risk, Finance, Legal, Operations and Technology.

Your initial priority will be to turn PFS’s regulatory requirements into a reliable operating framework: a complete obligations inventory, clear ownership, an integrated regulatory calendar, and effective controls over regulatory reporting and evidence.

In practice, you will:

maintain the authoritative inventory of PFS’s regulatory obligations;

coordinate the regulatory-reporting portfolio and directly produce selected returns;

establish clear responsibilities, reporting controls and escalation paths across contributing functions;

support supervisory responses and commitment tracking from day one;

coordinate regulatory change with Compliance, Legal and the relevant subject-matter owners; and

support regulatory governance through clear reporting, decision tracking and follow-through.

You will not replace the specialist accountability of Finance, the MLRO, Legal, Risk or Operations. Your role will be to make their contributions converge into a controlled, timely and inspection-ready regulatory process.

As PFS grows, you will help shape and evolve its regulatory operating model and governance arrangements.

### What will your day-to-day responsibilities be?

Maintain the regulatory-obligations inventory: keep a complete and current view of PFS’s recurring and event-driven obligations, with clear owners, deadlines, controls, approval routes and evidence requirements.

Run the integrated regulatory calendar: coordinate contributors, dependencies and review milestones across Compliance & Risk, Finance, Legal, Operations and Technology, escalating delivery risks before deadlines are affected.
