What you'll do:

As Director of Compliance, you will be entrusted with safeguarding the organisation’s reputation by ensuring unwavering adherence to all applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve designing robust frameworks that promote ethical conduct across every facet of the business. You will collaborate with colleagues from various departments to embed compliance into operational workflows while providing clear guidance on complex regulatory issues. By conducting thorough audits and risk assessments, you will help identify areas for enhancement and drive continuous improvement initiatives. Your ability to communicate effectively with both internal stakeholders and external regulators will be crucial in maintaining trust and transparency. Success in this role will require you to balance meticulous attention to detail with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, always keeping the organisation’s long-term interests at heart.

• Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive compliance policies and procedures that align with local regulations and international best practices.
• Monitor regulatory changes relevant to the organisation’s operations and proactively update internal processes to ensure continued adherence.
• Lead regular internal audits and risk assessments to identify potential areas of vulnerability and recommend practical solutions for improvement.
• Provide expert guidance and training to staff at all levels on compliance matters, fostering a culture of awareness, responsibility, and ethical behaviour.

You will have demonstrated your ability to foster collaborative relationships built on trust—both internally among colleagues who rely on your advice and externally when engaging with authorities or industry peers. Your communication style should be clear yet approachable so that you can demystify technical concepts for non-specialists while inspiring confidence among senior leaders. A passion for continuous learning combined with a genuine commitment to upholding ethical standards will set you apart as someone who not only understands what needs doing but also inspires others to follow your example.
