About You
You are a hands-on compliance professional who understands how regulatory frameworks and licensing applications work from initial scoping through final submission readiness. You can turn complex regulations into clear guidance and client deliverables, manage both structured audit requests and fast-changing BD needs, and know when an issue requires escalation to senior Compliance or Legal.
About the Role
You will be the first-line compliance owner for AI outputs and related client deliverables. You will support stakeholder groups including client-facing teams and commercial services. You will turn the raw AI output into accurate and usable deliverables, and work as/with Engineering to convert recurring compliance work into reusable workflows and knowledge assets.
