Role: Head of Governance, Compliance, Fraud & Risk
Contract: 3 months +
Location: Work From Home (UK based only)
We are seeking an experienced Head of Governance, Compliance, Fraud & Risk Consultant to support an ambitious, greenfield technology programme focused on building and scaling a next-generation data platform.
Working with an innovative organisation operating within a highly regulated, data-sensitive environment, this is an opportunity to shape and establish the governance, compliance, fraud prevention and risk management frameworks that will underpin a rapidly evolving technology platform.
The successful consultant will bring a strong combination of strategic leadership, regulatory expertise and practical delivery experience, with a proven background in organisations managing complex, sensitive and highly regulated data.
The Role
You will take ownership of defining, implementing and embedding robust governance, compliance, fraud and risk frameworks across a new and rapidly scaling data platform.
Working closely with senior leadership, technology, data engineering, security and operational teams, you will ensure that regulatory obligations, data protection requirements and risk controls are built into the platform from the outset.

- Embedding governance and risk controls into platform architecture, data processes and operational workflows.
- Establishing appropriate oversight, monitoring, reporting and assurance mechanisms.
- Working collaboratively with technology and data teams to ensure governance and compliance support scalability rather than restrict innovation.
- Providing strategic direction alongside hands-on implementation throughout the platform's development and growth.
