Join Our Team  

As Head of Compliance for SiriusPoint International (SINT), SiriusPoint’s European legal entity, you will serve as a key Solvency II function holder, overseeing the effective implementation and operation of the Compliance framework across the SINT legal entities.

Reporting to the Global Chief Compliance Officer, you will lead a strong compliance and ethics program aligned with global standards and local regulatory requirements, including those of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA). You will also act as a trusted advisor to the Board, CEO, and senior leadership, helping to foster a strong culture of compliance and ethical conduct.

 

Your responsibilities will include:

Compliance Strategy and Governance

• Lead an independent Compliance function and key Solvency II control function, providing objective oversight and challenge while ensuring the function has the authority, independence, and resources to meet its regulatory responsibilities.
• Set and maintain the Compliance strategy and annual plan, aligning priorities and progress monitoring to the organization’s risk profile, regulatory obligations, and business strategy.
• Own and maintain the Compliance framework, policies, and governing documents, including the Compliance Manual, ensuring they remain current, effective, and aligned with regulatory requirements, internal standards, and business needs.
• Maintain key registers, including conflict-of-interest and gifts registers, with governance, review, and reporting processes that support transparency, issue identification, and timely escalation.

Risk Management and Monitoring

• Identify, assess, and monitor compliance risks across the risk universe, using a proactive, risk-based approach to evaluate emerging and existing exposures across the SINT entities and operating environment.
• Develop and maintain the Compliance risk framework, including risk registers, methodologies, and reporting, with quarterly top risk updates and an annual full risk register to support oversight and decision-making.
• Conduct independent monitoring and reviews in line with the Compliance plan, assessing control effectiveness, identifying gaps, issuing recommendations, and tracking remediation to completion.
• Assess, report, and follow up on compliance incidents and mitigating actions, ensuring issues are investigated, escalated as needed, documented, and remediated in a timely and effective manner.

Advisory and Regulatory Engagement

• Advise the Board, CEO, and business functions on regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, and related risks to support decision-making, governance, and business objectives.
• Monitor regulatory developments and emerging expectations, assess their business impact, and translate them into clear priorities and actions for stakeholders.
• Support implementation of new regulatory requirements by partnering across functions to interpret obligations, coordinate action plans, embed changes into processes and controls, and monitor progress.
• Act as a key liaison with the SFSA, supporting regulatory interactions, submissions, and information requests, and ensuring matters are handled accurately, promptly, and with appropriate internal escalation.
• Contribute to regulatory disclosures and governance reporting, including the SFCR and RSR, by providing Compliance input and reviewing content for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory alignment.

Reporting and Stakeholder Engagement

• Prepare and deliver quarterly Compliance reporting to the SINT Risk and Compliance Committee, Board, and Group Chief Compliance Officer, providing timely updates on key risks, monitoring outcomes, incidents, regulatory developments, and progress against the Compliance plan.
• Provide independent opinions on governance matters, including conflict-of-interest and Board collective competence assessments prior to regulatory submission, to help ensure arrangements are robust, documented, and aligned with legal and regulatory requirements.
• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and collaborate across functions to align business objectives with regulatory expectations, providing constructive challenge and promoting a pragmatic approach to compliance risk.

Training and Culture

• Deliver training and awareness initiatives that promote a strong culture of compliance and ethical behaviour, ensuring employees and stakeholders understand their obligations, can identify and escalate issues, and stay informed of key regulatory and policy requirements.
• Support embedding compliance principles across the SINT entity in line with global standards by partnering with business leaders and functional teams to integrate compliance expectations into day-to-day processes, decisions, and behaviours.

 

Your skills and abilities should include:

• Significant experience in a compliance, legal, or risk role within insurance, reinsurance, or financial services
• Demonstrated leadership experience, ideally within a regulated environment
• Strong knowledge of Solvency II and Swedish regulatory requirements
• Proven ability to advise senior leadership and interact with Boards and regulatory authorities
• Experience designing and implementing compliance frameworks, policies, and monitoring programs
• Strong analytical and risk assessment capabilities
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across functions and jurisdictions
• Fluency in Swedish, with the ability to communicate effectively with Swedish regulators, stakeholders, and business partners
• High level of integrity, professionalism, and ethical judgement
