About the Role
We're looking for an experienced compliance leader, based in Ireland, to lead our global compliance assurance and testing function. This is a global specialist role within our Global Risk & Compliance team, providing independent review of control effectiveness across every regulatory domain and jurisdiction we operate in, including the UK, EU, APAC, and US.
If you enjoy building testing frameworks from the ground up, turning complex regulation into practical methodology, and influencing senior stakeholders, this one's for you.
What you will do
- Lead EML's global compliance assurance programme, setting the strategy, methodology, and frameworks for testing across all regulatory domains.
- Plan and deliver risk-based testing across business units and regions, including testing for new regulatory requirements and regulatory change.
- Provide independent assessment of control effectiveness and drive consistent testing standards across global operations.
- Lead root cause analysis on findings and produce executive and board-level reporting on results, trends, and assurance metrics.
- Champion testing automation and technology to make assurance smarter and more efficient.
- Lead, coach, and develop a small team, building their capability in methodology, test scripts, and best practice.
- Partner with all three lines of defence, including Internal Audit and Risk, to ensure full coverage without duplication.
- Support regulatory examinations across jurisdictions, from evidence preparation to embedding lessons learned.
