Lime is hiring an Operations Associate, Compliance to join our Operations team and play a key role in strengthening compliance, efficiency, and data-driven decision‑making across both in-warehouse and field operations.

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of compliance requirements, regulatory obligations, and operational standards to ensure the business operates within all necessary guidelines.
• Identify, map, and monitor key business risks, implementing data‑driven controls and proactive mitigation strategies to reduce exposure and safeguard operations.
• Analyse rider behaviours, usage patterns, and market dynamics to inform placement strategies, pricing models, and growth opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with Operations, Government Relations, Legal, and product teams to embed compliance and risk considerations into core processes, ensuring that business decisions are both efficient and compliant.
• Serve as a strategic partner to leadership by presenting clear, data‑driven narratives that guide investment decisions, operational priorities, and long‑term planning.
