Ventro Group is a leading fire safety and building compliance business, delivering critical life safety services across the United Kingdom. Backed by private equity investment from KLAR Partners, we are on an ambitious growth trajectory - scaling our operations, investing in our people, and setting new standards across the fire safety sector.
With KLAR Partners’ investment and strategic support, Ventro Group is positioned for significant expansion. This is an exciting time to join a business that is professionalising at pace, building best-in‑class infrastructure, and making a genuine difference to the safety of buildings and the people who live and work in them.
The Role
Our contracts decide what we deliver, what we pay for and what we are responsible for.

What you will do
- Review client delivery contracts and supplier contracts against fire safety regulations, industry standards and our procurement policies.
- Find risks, unclear wording and clauses that do not comply, and elevate them to senior managers or legal counsel where needed.
- Keep clear records of every review and work with legal counsel on the complex ones.
- Build and look after our contract database: version control, document retention and renewal dates, with early warning to the people who need to act.
- Prepare compliance reports and support internal and external audits.
