• Monitor the evolving landscape of internet regulations to ensure our global assurance framework remains robust and future-proof.

• Leverage advanced audit techniques and evangelize a "common-controls" approach to maximize risk coverage and compliance efficiency.

Who You Might Be

• An experienced professional with 5+ years in Internal Audit, Regulatory Compliance, or Risk Management, specifically within the tech or online platform industry.

• A subject matter expert with experience supporting internal advisory and assurance workstreams for platform regulations such as the EU Digital Services Act and the UK Online Safety Act.

• A collaborative leader and proactive problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments and is comfortable navigating ambiguity.

• A clear and persuasive communicator capable of distilling complex regulatory mandates into digestible, actionable guidance for diverse business functions.

• Professional certifications such as CIA, CISA or CIPP/E are preferred.

• Solid grasp of platform governance concepts and the ability to translate business objectives into technical compliance solutions.

• Strong project management skills with a proven ability to oversee large-scale, multi-month audit cycles involving global stakeholders.
