Do you have proven experience in developing and implementing compliance processes, plans, and frameworks, for example, in policy management, internal audits, risk management and business continuity?
Are you confident in advising, influencing and engaging stakeholders at all levels, to ensure robust compliance?
Are you able to analyse organisational risk and compliance data and simplify complex concepts to inform robust decision-making?
Do you take ownership and have experience leading initiatives, including rolling out new processes and training?
Do you have proven line management experience?
Do you have excellent attention to detail and an innovative approach to reviewing and updating information and data?
