Manager – Distribution Governance and Excellence (contract)

We're partnering with a financial services client to hire a Manager – Distribution Governance and Excellence to own how they onboard and govern insurance distribution partners (brokers, FAs, banks). It's a hands-on control-function role for someone who values structure, clean documentation, and keeping multiple workstreams on track.

This is a 8 month contract role.

What you'll do

• Run end-to-end distributor due diligence — assess submissions, flag risks and gaps, and keep audit-ready records.
• Support contracting and agreement execution, maintaining a clear tracker of status and next steps.
• Coordinate sign-offs with Compliance, Legal, Risk, and Financial Crime.
• Plan and run governance meetings: prepare packs, take minutes, and drive actions to closure.
• Report on onboarding, contracting, and governance progress, and improve the templates and trackers behind it.
