About the Team
The Legal, Compliance, Privacy and Contracts team plays a critical role in helping Enlivio Health operate responsibly and effectively within an evolving and heavily regulatory landscape.
Working closely with leaders across the business, the team provides oversight, advice and assurance across legal, privacy, customer contracting, enterprise risk management, compliance, internal audit, sustainability and governance activities. The function helps ensure legal and regulatory obligations are understood, managed appropriately and embedded throughout the organisation, enabling informed decision-making and supporting scalability and long-term business success.

- Oversee ISO certification and assurance programmes, ensuring continued compliance with relevant standards and accreditations.
- Maintain oversight of sustainability and ESG compliance activities, monitoring emerging regulatory requirements and reporting obligations.
- Lead, develop and coach the Risk & Compliance team while promoting a culture of integrity, accountability and risk awareness throughout the business.

You are comfortable operating across complex organisations and has the credibility to influence stakeholders at all levels, including Executive and Board-level leadership. Whether your background is in risk, compliance, legal, audit or assurance, you're able to connect the dots across multiple regulatory disciplines and provide practical, value-added guidance.
Most importantly, you're passionate about building strong governance frameworks, driving continuous improvement and helping organisations operate responsibly and effectively in a regulated environment.

- Strong understanding of enterprise risk management frameworks and corporate governance principles.
- Experience leading compliance, assurance or regulatory programmes within a regulated environment.
- Demonstrable experience overseeing internal audit, certification or control assurance activities.
