Job Description:
Our client is a leading IP firm offering commercially focused advice on obtaining, enforcing, and exploiting intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, and designs, to a variety of clients. It is a well-established and highly regarded national firm, ranked highly for its expertise, workplace environment, and commitment to sustainability.
The firm is now seeking a Head of Risk and Compliance to lead its risk and compliance functions, which are currently managed by several senior staff. This role offers the opportunity to spearhead the firm's risk and compliance initiatives and collaborate closely with its leadership team.
Primary responsibilities will include guiding the firm through ISO 27001 accreditation, along with managing risk and compliance issues such as business continuity planning, AML compliance, sanctions, client onboarding, and data protection. The role also involves overseeing the firm’s ESG policies, compliance, and accreditation processes.
Ideal candidates will have experience in risk and compliance within a leading IP or law firm or other professional services environment. Experience with ISO 27001 and familiarity with other ISO standards, as well as knowledge of SRA or IPReg compliance regimes, will be highly advantageous.
This is an exciting opportunity for individuals seeking to step into their first Head of Risk role or for those already leading risk and compliance functions.
