CASS is a high profile and priority area of the FCA given failures such as Lehman Bros in 2008 and other recent fines imposed to organisations. The work we do supports our clients to protect their customers through sound advice and robust testing of their CASS control frameworks.

We have a large and high profile CASS client base across the Asset wealth management sector. In order to service this client base, we are growing our team further to create a larger team of CASS specialists.

We are a successful, diverse and people-focused team with a strong inclusive culture and passionate about letting our staff work at the times and from the locations that suit them best. Flexible working contracts are available with a number of team members taking time off during the summer to pursue other personal interests during our quieter times.

We are looking for exceptional performers at both Manager and Senior Manager levels to join our Asset & Wealth Management team. The role involves working directly with clients to deliver high quality CASS audits, other assurance and advisory services, helping to drive our ambitious technology agenda and supporting the build out of our national CASS team across the UK.

You’ll be responsible for the delivery of your CASS audit engagements and ensuring the high quality of your team’s audit work and reporting. You will also lead and coach your team members, and manage relationships with senior level clients. More broadly, you will also contribute to the running of our business unit, including business and people development.
