As the world leader in ejection seats, our work is mission critical. We are looking for a pragmatic, solution-oriented Compliance & Risk Officer to join our team in Denham and help navigate the unique challenges of a high-stakes, family-run aerospace business. The Role This isn't a role for a theorist. You will be a "doer" who moves beyond simple execution to true ownership. Reporting to the Group Head of Compliance with a dotted line to the Risk Manager, you will act as a bridge between complex regulations and practical business solutions.

Who You Are * Practical & Applied: You have a background in compliance, risk, or audit, and you pride yourself on being a "problem solver" rather than someone who just says "no." * Eloquently Articulate: You are exceptionally literate and comfortable holding your own in high-level committee meetings. * Experienced: You have a proven track record of reviewing legislation and developing the controls needed to keep a business safe and compliant. * Committed: You want to "do the job," not just network.
