Compliance Manager – Hybrid 2-3 days in office (Heathrow Area)
Are you an experienced compliance professional who enjoys variety, ownership, and making a tangible impact across a business?
A well-established global logistics operation is looking for a Compliance Manager to lead and evolve their approach to regulatory, legal, safety, and ethical compliance. This is a broad and engaging role that touches on everything from audits and customs processes to health & safety, anti-bribery, and the responsible use of AI.
Reporting to the Head of Legal and working closely with legal, HR, IT, and operational teams, you’ll be the go-to person for all things compliance—developing robust frameworks, supporting audits, chairing risk committees, and being a visible presence across departments.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading internal and external audits, and making sure action plans are followed through.
* Supporting compliance with CAA regulations and customs clearance (MOU, BIRDS, etc.).
* Ensuring key contract obligations are properly communicated across departments.
* Overseeing health & safety compliance with support from external consultants.
* Building and managing a company-wide risk and compliance programme.
* Driving compliance in areas like anti-bribery, modern slavery, and data protection.
* Working with IT to ensure AI systems are used ethically and legally.
* Chairing the risk committee and reporting to senior leadership.
We’re looking for someone with:
* Solid knowledge of UK compliance and risk frameworks.
* Proven experience with audits, governance, and policy implementation.
* Strong communication skills and confidence working across different teams.
* Customs clearance experience, including knowledge of MOU, BIRDS, customs forms, audits, and ideally an understanding of ETSF procedures.
* CAA experience is helpful but not essential as training will be provided.
* A collaborative mindset, with the ability to influence and educate teams at all levels.
Why this role?
It’s a rare opportunity to shape and lead the compliance function within a global logistics environment—where no two days are the same, and where your work will be critical to the safe and ethical running of the business.
If you’re looking for a role that offers variety, autonomy, and visibility at senior level, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV via LinkedIn or to thinchliffe@kgglobal.co.uk.
