Job Summary
Group Compliance Manager
Senior, group‑wide role | UK & European scope | Shaping compliance at a pivotal point of change
At Spark TSL, our mission is simple: making life better, with connections that matter. We operate in regulated environments where trust, integrity, and accountability genuinely matter, to our customers, our partners, and our people.
We're now looking for a Group Compliance Manager to join us at a critical point in the evolution of the business. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this is a senior operational role with real influence, visibility, and ownership across the group.
Job Description
Why this role?
This role sits at the heart of Spark TSL's strategy. You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the business can operate confidently across multiple markets, currently spanning the UK and Europe, while also helping shape how we prepare for future expansion into new territories.
As Spark TSL continues to grow, modernise platforms, and support customers with increasingly complex regulatory and assurance expectations, this role ensures that compliance frameworks are not only robust, but scalable, pragmatic, and commercially aligned.
This is not a purely advisory or back‑office compliance role. You'll be a trusted authority within the business, responsible for setting direction, influencing senior stakeholders, and ensuring that compliance genuinely enables responsible growth.
Why Spark TSL?
People join Spark TSL because they want:
* Purpose and impact: Compliance that genuinely protects customers, data, and people
* International scope: Working across UK and European markets, with the opportunity to help prepare the business for entry into new markets
* Ownership and trust: Senior roles are empowered to apply judgement, make decisions, and drive meaningful improvement
* A seat at the table: Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision‑making
* Breadth and challenge: Spanning data protection, security, audits, health & safety, customer assurance, and regulatory engagement
* A supportive, people‑first culture: Grounded in professionalism, collaboration, and doing the right thing
This is a role where compliance directly underpins commercial success, customer confidence, and long‑term sustainable growth.
The impact you'll have
You'll help ensure that Spark TSL's compliance approach:
* Is consistent and effective across UK and European operations
* Supports business audits and customers tenders ensuring rightful due‑diligence is followed
* Scales to enable entry into new markets and jurisdictions
* Balances regulatory rigour with real‑world operational and commercial needs
You'll also play a visible role externally, helping customers, partners, and regulators clearly understand Spark TSL's compliance posture and maturity.
Who this role suits
This role will suit someone who:
* Enjoys operating across jurisdictions and regulatory landscapes
* Is comfortable working in an environment experiencing growth and change
* Combines strong technical compliance knowledge with commercial pragmatism
* Is confident engaging with senior leaders, customers, and external bodies
* Wants to build compliance frameworks that work in practice, not just on paper
* Is happy hybrid / remote working with regular to travel to Spark TSLs sites and markets (UK & Netherlands), as well as potential new markets as required.
It's a role where credibility, clarity, and calm leadership matter as much as subject‑matter expertise.
