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.

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 9th 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 #LI-GP1
