Job description

Senior Compliance Governance & Frameworks Manager

The Senior Compliance Governance & Frameworks Manager will lead the development and continuous improvement of governance, policy, and oversight frameworks that underpin effective compliance management across the business. This role will ensure strong, practical structures are in place to manage compliance activities, support effective decision‑making, and evidence good governance to regulators and senior stakeholders. The successful candidate will combine strong organisational and governance expertise with a pragmatic, hands‑on approach – driving accountability, ensuring actions are delivered, and helping the compliance team “get things done.”

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, enhance, and embed effective compliance governance frameworks across the business to ensure consistent oversight and accountability.
• Lead the transition of governance and workflow processes into Jira (or similar tools) to improve transparency, tracking, and reporting.
• Establish and maintain documentation standards and controls for compliance artefacts, including policies, frameworks, registers, and logs.
• Oversee licensing governance, ensuring all obligations and related documentation are current, accurate, and well controlled.
• Manage compliance and regulatory committees, including agenda preparation, paper collation, minute‑taking, and action tracking.
• Develop high‑quality Board and Executive reporting, producing clear, insightful, and visually polished slide packs tailored for senior audiences.
• Conduct horizon scanning and industry analysis to identify regulatory developments, assess alignment, and support proactive compliance enhancements.
• Oversee compliance risks and incidents, ensuring timely logging, assessment, escalation, and lessons learned to strengthen future controls.

Who We Are Looking For

• Extensive experience in compliance governance, frameworks, and policy management within regulated environments, with working knowledge of compliance risk management and incident tracking processes.
• Proven ability to manage committees and governance forums, producing high‑quality minutes, actions, and reports, and creating executive‑level materials that clearly distil complex issues.
• Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills, able to coordinate across teams, drive accountability, and influence delivery in fast‑paced environments.
• Highly structured and detail‑oriented, confident using digital tools such as Jira, SharePoint, and Confluence, with an understanding of UK regulatory expectations in consumer‑facing sectors including gambling and financial services.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and bonus schemes.
• Hybrid working – up to 80% work‑from‑home with 20% office time for collaborative meetings.
• 25 days holiday, plus 8 bank holidays and an extra day for your birthday.
• Discounts at a range of high‑street retailers.
• Industry‑leading maternity and paternity leave and paid time off for caring responsibilities.
• Health & well‑being support, including mental health and financial education, gym discounts, and cycle‑to‑work scheme.
• Zone 1‑6 Oyster card discount for convenient commuting.
• Comprehensive healthcare benefits or a cash alternative.
• Pension package, income protection and life assurance.
