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  • Replacing outdated CRM tools with efficient, structured solutions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
