Job Description

You will play a key role in delivering effective, risk-based compliance assurance across the EMEA and APAC (EMAP) regions.

• Build and perform testing of compliance controls
• Conduct fieldwork, reviews, and fact-finding meetings

Turn findings into action

• Prepare reports that set out findings, risks, conclusions, and required actions
• Work with business owners and management to agree practical action plans and mitigation steps
• Track agreed actions through to closure and report on progress
• Escalate high-risk issues

Shape the wider assurance approach

• Support the Head of Compliance Assurance in developing the compliance risk monitoring and testing process
• Contribute to the annual Compliance Assurance Plan
• Support other EMAP Compliance colleagues in undertaking compliance testing
• Help maintain and evolve the EMAP Compliance Assurance methodology, reporting templates, and GenAI tooling to improve productivity and effectiveness
