This is our philosophy. This is our momentum. This is your opportunity.

At APCOA, we are not just managing parking spaces – we’re pioneering the future of urban mobility and smart city solutions. With a presence in 12 countries, over 12,000 locations, and more than 50 years of operational leadership, we are Europe’s largest parking and mobility services provider.

And now, we’re entering a bold new chapter.

With the launch of our newly formed Group HQ in West London, we are transforming from a collection of high-performing local business units into a truly enterprise-led, future-fit organisation — one that retains its entrepreneurial spirit while unlocking the power of scale.

As a Compliance Lead at APCOA, you will serve as a strategic compliance leader across our European operations. Your day involves providing expert guidance on complex regulatory matters while overseeing our comprehensive compliance framework. You'll collaborate with senior leadership to develop and implement compliance strategies that protect our organization while enabling business growth. As the Group Data Protection Officer, you'll lead our data privacy initiatives, ensuring our 5,000-person workforce maintains the highest standards of data protection across all jurisdictions. You'll balance addressing routine compliance matters efficiently while driving forward strategic compliance initiatives that align with our new operating model.

* Manage and efficiently resolve compliance breaches and reports, from routine operational matters to complex regulatory issues
* Develop, review, and update compliance policies with a focus on standardization across the group
* Provide strategic compliance advice to senior management and the Board, with particular focus on private equity governance requirements
* Lead investigations into potential compliance breaches and coordinate with regulatory authorities when necessary
* Manage the compliance team and coordinate with regional compliance officers to ensure a consistent group-wide approach
* Design and implement effective compliance training programs, with emphasis on data protection
* Conduct periodic compliance risk assessments and develop improvement plans to continuously enhance our compliance posture

What You Bring

Qualifications

* Experience working within private equity-backed organizations with understanding of PE governance requirements
* Proven track record of developing and implementing compliance programs across multiple jurisdictions
* In-depth knowledge of European regulatory frameworks
* Professional compliance certification preferred (e.g., CCEP, CIPP)

Skills and Competencies

* Strategic thinking with exceptional analytical abilities to navigate complex regulatory landscapes
* Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence at all levels and drive group-wide alignment
* Excellent communication and presentation skills for engaging with stakeholders at all levels
* Sound judgment when managing high-volume, routine compliance matters while maintaining strategic focus
* Ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical business solutions
* Deep expertise in data privacy regulations with the capability to serve effectively as Group DPO
