The role

As a Compliance Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of our regulatory strategy, supporting the Regulatory Affairs team within the Compliance function of the Office of the General Counsel (OGC).

This position is perfect for someone who thrives on precision, enjoys cross‑border collaboration, and wants to make an impact in a global compliance landscape.
