Job title: Director of Risk & Compliance
Office location with Hybrid working: Hammersmith with 3 days in the office
The Director of Risk and Compliance is a senior leadership role responsible for driving risk management and compliance oversight across the business, ensuring that frameworks, policies, and processes actively drive accountability and action. Success in this role means shifting the organisation from a compliance‑as‑process mindset to a proactive, pragmatic approach that delivers genuine business value.
The Director of Risk & Compliance will play a critical role in identifying gaps, emerging issues, and priority risks, developing robust and realistic mitigation plans, challenging senior leadership, and ensuring clear ownership and timely delivery across teams. They will be accountable for ensuring that company directors are fully aware of, and actively mitigating, the highest‑priority risks, as well as any material compliance gaps requiring attention.
Beyond frameworks and reporting, the Director of Risk & Compliance is about fostering a culture of risk awareness and compliance excellence—promoting transparency, challenging where necessary, and holding themselves and others to account to ensure the right actions happen at the right time.
What will you be doing?
Risk Management
· Own and coordinate enterprise‑wide risk oversight, ensuring the right risks receive the right level of focus, challenge, and action across all business functions.
· Identify, assess, and prioritise the risks that matter most—operational, financial, legal, and reputational—so leaders and Directors are focused on the areas of greatest exposure.
· Set the standard for high‑quality mitigation, ensuring risk owners develop pragmatic, proportionate, and effective actions with clear accountability and realistic timelines.
Compliance Management
· Design and maintain a compliance programme that enables the business, moving beyond tick‑box activity and embedding practical, risk‑based solutions that support performance and decision‑making.
· Act as a key gatekeeper for change, ensuring all systems, process, and people changes are assessed, approved, and implemented in line with compliance requirements and regulatory expectations.
· Monitor regulatory developments proactively, assessing their impact on the business and driving timely, proportionate adaptations.
Policy Development and Implementation
· Work across the organisation to ensure all policies are developed, regularly reviewed, clearly communicated, well‑understood, and fully embedded in day‑to‑day practice.
· Develop and update compliance and risk management policies and procedures in line with evolving regulations and best practices.
Stakeholder Engagement
· Provide clear, actionable updates to senior leadership and the Board on compliance and risk activities, gaps, and progress.
· Hold stakeholders accountable for agreed actions and timelines.
· Maintain strong relationships with external stakeholders, including regulators, auditors, and industry bodies.
