Senior Compliance Assurance Officer

You will play a key role in delivering effective, risk-based compliance assurance across the EMEA and APAC (EMAP) regions. This role is suited to someone who can combine strong hands-on assurance delivery with a broader responsibility to contribute to the continuous improvement across the function.
