Leading the design and continuous improvement of governance, risk, legal and assurance frameworks.

What we’re looking for:
*
Extensive senior experience in governance, legal, risk and compliance leadership.
*
Proven track record working with Boards, Committees and Executive teams.
*
Strong knowledge of the UK housing or regulated sector, and relevant legislation (including company, charity and data protection law).
*
Background in managing multi-functional teams, large budgets, and cross-organisational assurance frameworks.
*
A Chartered Governance qualification (CGIUKI) or equivalent senior governance qualification is desirable.
This is a high-impact role requiring advanced judgement, strategic influence and the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments. It offers the opportunity to shape governance integrity and compliance culture at the highest level
