At j. awan & partners, we specialise in sourcing top-tier compliance, finance, risk, and executive professionals, helping firms build high-performing teams that navigate the evolving regulatory landscape with confidence.


The Growing Demand for Compliance and Finance Professionals


The financial sector is experiencing an unprecedented demand for compliance and finance leaders, driven by evolving regulations and increased scrutiny from global regulators. According to PwC’s Global Financial Services Talent Survey, 70% of firms cite compliance and risk management roles as among the hardest to fill due to the specialised expertise required.


Furthermore, a recent Deloitte study highlights that financial institutions worldwide are investing heavily in regulatory compliance talent, with 68% of surveyed firms planning to increase their hiring budgets for these functions over the next three years. This demand underscores the need for a structured and proactive recruitment approach.


Challenges in Sourcing Top Talent


Attracting and retaining exceptional compliance and finance professionals comes with unique challenges:


  • Talent Shortage: A limited pool of professionals with deep expertise in regulatory frameworks, risk mitigation, and financial controls.

  • Cultural Alignment: Ensuring new hires integrate seamlessly into an organisation’s values, ethics, and leadership vision.

  • Regulatory Complexity: Rapidly changing compliance requirements demand professionals who are agile, knowledgeable, and forward-thinking.


As KPMG’s Global Head of People and Change Consulting states, “The right leadership talent is not just about technical ability; it’s about adaptability, cultural fit, and the ability to drive transformation in an evolving regulatory environment.”

The Importance of Cultural Fit in Leadership Hiring


Technical competence alone does not guarantee success in compliance and finance leadership roles. Cultural alignment is crucial, ensuring executives can effectively integrate with existing teams, uphold corporate governance, and drive strategic objectives.


As EY’s Global Financial Services People Advisory Leader notes, “A strong cultural fit is a key determinant of long-term leadership success. Organisations that prioritise cultural alignment in hiring experience higher retention, stronger performance, and greater resilience.”
