The Role

This is a hands-on, enterprise-level role that is responsible for risk and compliance across the business.

Reporting to the General Counsel, you will operate as a trusted advisor to the Board and senior leadership, ensuring that risk and compliance frameworks are not only maintained but actively improved and embedded.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading enterprise risk and compliance frameworks, including registers, policies and reporting;

• Overseeing compliance with licence, regulatory and contractual obligations;

• Reviewing and challenging operational reporting to identify risks, gaps and trends;

• Preparing high-quality reporting for the Board and key governance committees;

• Supporting regulatory engagement with key external stakeholders;

• Driving governance uplift initiatives, including obligations mapping and policy development; and

• Offering insights and embedding a proactive and forward-looking risk function.

About You

You are a risk and compliance professional that thrives in complex environments and enjoys applying analytical thinking to real business challenges.

You bring:

• ~8+ years’ experience in risk, compliance or regulatory roles;

• Experience in a highly regulated environment (financial services, gaming, energy or similar);

• Strong capability in enterprise risk frameworks and compliance oversight;

• Experience preparing Board or committee-level reporting; and

• The ability to interpret data, identify gaps and form an independent view.

You are:

• Intellectually curious and enjoy ambiguity;

• Comfortable operating in a small but high-impact team;

• Keen to build and shape a function, not inherit a finished one; and

• Practical in your approach to building risk management frameworks.

This role is particularly well-suited to someone looking for greater ownership, exposure and influence.
