Head of Risk, Compliance & Procurement

£40,000 to £60,000

Hybrid, Tangmere, West Sussex

Are you a commercially astute professional with a sharp understanding of legal and operational risk with a passion for operational excellence? Do you thrive in a fast-moving environment where your work genuinely makes an impact? If so, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for a Head of Risk, Compliance & Procurement to take full ownership of the compliance, legal, and safeguarding functions across our dynamic, multi-faceted business. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-responsibility role that spans both the UK and US markets, from safeguarding investigations and GDPR oversight to supplier contracts and US title verification.

Responsibilities:

As the key guardian of our company’s risk and compliance landscape, you’ll be responsible for:

Risk & Compliance Ownership

  • Leading investigations into stolen vehicles and insurance disputes

  • Ensuring GDPR and data compliance across operations

  • Handling safeguarding concerns and liaising with police, insurers, and regulators

    Legal Oversight (UK & US)

  • Reviewing and managing contracts, vehicle purchase agreements, and internal legal documents

  • Maintaining legal separation across entities to minimise liability and tax crossover

  • Ensuring US entity compliance with state-specific requirements

  • Auditing all US legal docs to ensure clear separation, responsibilities, and protection

    Vehicle Title Verification (USA)

  • Creating workflows for verifying ownership, identifying title fraud, and collecting the right documents

  • Ensuring every purchase is backed by bulletproof verification

    Payments & Customer Convenience

  • Innovating beyond traditional bank transfers to enhance seller convenience

  • Testing new payment methods like PayPal or card links

  • Reducing cancellations and friction in the transaction process

    CRM & Systems Revamp

  • Replacing outdated CRM tools with efficient, structured solutions

  • Improving tracking, handover, and relationship management across teams

    Operator’s Licence Oversight

  • Ensuring full self-sufficiency and long-term compliance with our company operator’s licence

    Insider Risk & IP Protection

  • Managing access to sensitive data and pricing tools

  • Monitoring systems for suspicious activity and enforcing strong encryption policies

    Procurement & Supplier Management

  • Negotiating the best value from our suppliers

  • Regularly reviewing service providers and ensuring operational efficiency

    What We’re Looking For:

  • Solid experience in risk, compliance, legal or procurement roles

  • Understanding of both UK and US legal and operational landscapes

  • Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills

  • Experience handling legal documentation, safeguarding concerns, and data protection

  • Confidence dealing with stakeholders at all levels—from suppliers to regulators

  • A methodical, strategic mindset with an eye for both detail and big-picture risk

    Why Join Us?

    This is not a checkbox role. It’s a hands-on senior position where your judgment and insight will directly influence the direction of the business. You'll be joining a forward-thinking team that values initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement.

    Monday to Friday, 8.00am / 5.00pm

    £40,000 to £60,000 dependent upon experience

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

How to Get a Better Data Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Across sectors like healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government and AI startups, UK employers continue to seek data scientists who can deliver value through insight, prediction, and automation. This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
