About the Role
Oxford University Press (‘the Press’) is a department of the University of Oxford and the world’s largest
university press. Guided by the University’s mission of excellence in research, scholarship, and education, the Press publishes thousands of titles annually across academic, educational, and general interest sectors. With a global footprint reaching researchers, educators, and learners in around 200 countries and regions, the Press plays a pivotal role in shaping knowledge and learning worldwide.
Under the direction of the Group Compliance Officer, the Senior Compliance Manager plays a key role in delivering the Press’s Global Compliance Programme (‘Programme’) across the Press’s Divisions and Group Functions. This position is critical in ensuring that core ethical compliance risks - principally Bribery and Corruption, Fraud, and the Facilitation of Tax Evasion - are identified, effectively managed, and proportionately addressed. The Senior Compliance Manager will be responsible for embedding the Programme’s requirements, cultivating a strong culture of integrity, and maintaining robust and sustainable compliance controls.
Key responsibilities:
* Work with senior management to demonstrate and communicate commitment to the Press’s Compliance policies and processes, nurturing an appropriate compliance culture across relevant business areas.
* Support and co-ordinate an effective compliance training programme, ensuring that all staff and new starters complete annual training and other supplementary exercises.
* As appropriate, ensure that all new third parties are subject to appropriate risk assessment and due diligence, and that, for existing third parties, risk assessments and due diligence are revalidated on a regular basis.
* Ensure that all high risk business activities are appropriately identified and treated in accordance with the Programme.
* Support quarterly and annually reporting on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and key issues related to area of responsibility.
* Regularly review risk areas and support centrally led Monitoring and Review and assurance activities.
* Ensure that conflicts of interest are managed in accordance with Group policies and procedures.
* Support, as required, with communications and awareness to ensure that ethical allegations are reported promptly to the Group Compliance Officer. As required, provide support with investigations, ensuring they are conducted in line with Group procedures.
