• Track and help resolve nonconformities, audit findings and improvement actions.
• Support management reviews with updated performance reports, compliance data and proposals for improvement.
• Promote continuous improvement, knowledge sharing and best practice across the IMS.
• Maintain a register of legal, regulatory and contractual obligations applicable to the company in each jurisdiction in which we operate, and track changes that may affect the business.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and, where appropriate, external counsel and local partners on jurisdiction specific compliance matters.
• Support data protection and information security compliance, including alignment with GDPR and equivalent frameworks in other geographies.
• Report regularly to Top Management on the company's overall compliance posture, key risks and proposed improvement actions.

Applicants should:
