About this role

As our client's business continues to grow, having a strong and practical compliance framework is more important than ever. From international trade regulations and export controls to sanctions and third-party due diligence, our client wants to make sure they are doing business the right way. To support the continued international growth, they are looking for a hands-on and proactive Compliance Officer who wants to take ownership, strengthen compliance processes, and help build a solid foundation for the future.

Your responsibilities:

As Compliance Officer, you'll play an important role in developing and strengthening the compliance framework across the company. From trade and export regulations to sanctions, KYC/CDD and third-party due diligence, you'll make sure you have the right policies, processes and controls in place to keep the business compliant.

You'll be part of the BOL (Business Operations & Legal) department, reporting directly to the CFO, and working closely with colleagues across the international organization. Don't expect a role where you're only reviewing policies and ticking boxes… Our client is looking for someone who enjoys getting things done!

You'll have the opportunity to build and improve compliance processes, translate complex requirements into practical solutions, and help colleagues understand what compliance means for their daily work. You'll take ownership of the compliance framework, identify potential risks, and work together with different departments to make sure processes are effective and consistently followed. You'll also coordinate and maintain the compliance framework related to privacy and data protection, including GDPR. While the operational teams remain responsible for compliance in their own activities, you'll provide the guidance, structure, and oversight they need.

In short, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact and help shape how compliance works across the organisation!
