What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a rewarding and challenging position where I can apply my finance and compliance expertise, improve processes, and drive high-quality outcomes. I want opportunities for professional growth in a diverse workplace.

I’m an ambitious, detail-focused financial services professional with a strong analytical mind and a proven ability to drive out inefficiencies through process improvement. I bring excellent communication skills and the ability to prioritize workload effectively in regulated environments.

In my current role as a Motor Claims File Reviewer at Hastings Insurance, I complete regulatory review case work to FCA standards. I evaluate total loss motor insurance claims, identify pre-existing damage, select outcomes from approved options, and maintain comprehensive narratives and an audit trail for transparency and accountability.

Previously, I delivered high-quality customer and regulatory outcomes across multiple disciplines, including PPI quality assurance and remediation work at Santander. I executed FCA/Banks handling guideline quality checks, assessed redress calculations (including manual calc), and coached staff to raise competence and performance, while supporting operational improvements.

I’ve also built strong compliance and risk capabilities through KYC/AML work at Accenture and compliance monitoring at Virgin Media. From investigating root causes and corrective actions to managing complex case files and handling complaints through to resolution, I’m consistently looking for a rewarding, challenging position that offers professional growth.
