Ready to lead and shape a future-focused compliance framework that elevates how we manage compliance risks across the entire Group. This is a newly created role because we're ready to create a consistent way of working and build a clearer, more coordinated approach to compliance. You'll help us get ahead of emerging regulations and create a framework that supports every part of the Group with confidence and consistency As a Group Compliance Officer, you'll bring clarity, structure and confidence to a compliance landscape that's evolving at pace. You'll lead the design and implementation of a Group-wide Compliance Framework, enabling the business to identify, assess and manage compliance risks, across every region and function. That includes establishing horizon-scanning governance, defining responsibilities and creating a standardised process for recording, triaging and continuous review of compliance risks. You'll oversee Group-wide compliance registers, MI and reporting, support SMEs in maintaining them and track progress, providing the business with independent assurance. Creating clear, insightful reporting for the Executive, Board and relevant Committees will be a core part of your work, along with ensuring consistent training, communication and policy alignment. When significant legislative changes arise impacting multiple functions and territories, you'll coordinate cross-functional and cross-territory responses. You'll play a key role in shaping how we meet our obligations under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) across all Specsavers operations. You'll design, implement and maintain a dedicated EUDR framework that not only aligns with EU requirements but fits seamlessly into our wider compliance, risk, ESG and supply-chain governance structures. A big part of your impact will come from creating clarity, defining roles, responsibilities and accountabilities so everyone understands their part in delivering compliant outcomes. You'll bring a strong understanding of global regulatory and compliance environments, along with experience in compliance, risk management, legal or regulatory roles. Your organisational, analytical and project-management abilities will help you navigate complexity with confidence, especially when coordinating multi-functional, multi-regional initiatives. You'll be a highly effective communicator who can influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships across the business. Experience working with SMEs, legal teams and cross-functional governance groups will be essential, as you'll be collaborating widely to embed consistent, high-quality compliance practices across the Group. This role closes on 16th March 2026: however, we may close the advert sooner if we get inundated with high-quality applications. If you're ready to make a global impact and help shape the future of compliance at Specsavers, we'd love to hear from you

You'll help us get ahead of emerging regulations and create a framework that supports every part of the Group with confidence and consistency As a Group Compliance Officer, you'll bring clarity, structure and confidence to a compliance landscape that's evolving at pace. You'll lead the design and implementation of a Group-wide Compliance Framework, enabling the business to identify, assess and manage compliance risks, across every region and function. That includes establishing horizon-scanning governance, defining responsibilities and creating a standardised process for recording, triaging and continuous review of compliance risks. You'll oversee Group-wide compliance registers, MI and reporting, support SMEs in maintaining them and track progress, providing the business with independent assurance. Creating clear, insightful reporting for the Executive, Board and relevant Committees will be a core part of your work, along with ensuring consistent training, communication and policy alignment. When significant legislative changes arise impacting multiple functions and territories, you'll coordinate cross-functional and cross-territory responses. You'll play a key role in shaping how we meet our obligations under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) across all Specsavers operations. You'll design, implement and maintain a dedicated EUDR framework that not only aligns with EU requirements but fits seamlessly into our wider compliance, risk, ESG and supply-chain governance structures. A big part of your impact will come from creating clarity, defining roles, responsibilities and accountabilities so everyone understands their part in delivering compliant outcomes. You'll bring a strong understanding of global regulatory and compliance environments, along with experience in compliance, risk management, legal or regulatory roles. Your organisational, analytical and project-management abilities will help you navigate complexity with confidence, especially when coordinating multi-functional, multi-regional initiatives. You'll be a highly effective communicator who can influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships across the business. Experience working with SMEs, legal teams and cross-functional governance groups will be essential, as you'll be collaborating widely to embed consistent, high-quality compliance practices across the Group. This role closes on 16th March 2026: however, we may close the advert sooner if we get inundated with high-quality applications. If you're ready to make a global impact and help shape the future of compliance at Specsavers, we'd love to hear from you
