About Elixirr
Elixirr International plc is a global consulting firm with a bold ambition: to become the best consulting firm in the world.
Founded in 2009 to challenge a declining industry standard, we’ve grown from a single vision into a powerhouse of entrepreneurial talent, delivering boardroom strategy through to execution.
After IPO-ing on AIM in July 2020, Elixirr moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in July 2025. In that time, our market cap has grown from £98 million to over £350 million – a testament to our differentiated approach and relentless pursuit of excellence.
With a presence across the UK, US, EU, and South Africa, and a client base spanning industries and geographies, we’ve welcomed seven boutique firms into the Group. This has broadened our capabilities across creative, digital marketing, data and AI, procurement, transformation, and more.
Our vision of becoming a services unicorn is firmly within reach – and this is just the beginning. We’re looking for exceptional talent to join us on this exciting growth journey and shape the future of consulting.
Location
Our headquarters are in Central London. It’s where it all began for us and continues to be a hub of innovation and growth.
The Role
Combining the agility of a challenger firm with the governance standards of a listed company, we are now seeking an ambitious, commercially astute Global Risk & Compliance Manager to build and scale our global risk and compliance capability, working closely with Legal, IT, Operations and senior leadership.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end risk and compliance framework for the Group, ensuring governance is robust, commercially pragmatic, audit-ready and scalable across operating companies and acquisitions.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to build and scale a global risk and compliance function within an entrepreneurial, Main Market-listed environment.
