About the Role
We’re hiring a Director, Corporate Compliance to take Nscale’s corporate compliance programme from design to reality as we build toward continued global expansion.

You’ll manage the Senior Manager, Ethics and Compliance and lead the systems, controls, workflows, and reporting that make the function run. This is a hands-on execution role: approximately 80% of your time will be spent building, delivering, and embedding processes.

- Own training completion rates and ensure the programme is embedded across the business.
- Keep all compliance procedures running to schedule while continuously improving workflows.
- Own the speak-up hotline end to end, including intake, triage, case management, and regular investigations visibility reporting.
- Ensure hotline matters are progressed promptly.
- Design and roll out Nscale’s conflicts of interest programme, including policy, disclosure workflows, a disclosure register, and the annual certification cycle.
- Partner with the Senior Manager, Compliance & Ethics to support programme delivery and adoption.
- Drive key risk areas to audit-ready maturity, with evidence packs to show for progress and readiness.
- Maintain and test the risk and controls register on an ongoing basis.
- Own anti-money laundering and anti-bribery controls, ensuring they are documented, tested, proportionate, and defensible.
- Build and maintain the SVP’s primary view of programme health across training completion, speak-up status, conflicts of interest, and controls maturity.
- Own and oversee maintenance of a live compliance operations manual.
- Select and implement the compliance management system, designing the workflows and backend processes.
- Position the compliance management system as an enterprise-wide GRC platform serving Legal, Finance, and Operations.
- Build a repeatable playbook for standing up compliance in new jurisdictions.
- Work across business functions to operationalise compliance requirements.
- Create practical, proportionate processes that support a high-growth, fast-moving environment.
Requirements
- 10–12 years’ experience in compliance, ethics, or a related field, with a clear track record of building programmes.
- Demonstrable experience designing and delivering compliance training at scale.
- Hands-on knowledge of AML, ABC, and KYC requirements and how to apply them proportionately.
- Experience implementing compliance systems and tooling; you have selected and built systems, not just administered them.
- People management experience, including developing and motivating direct reports.
- Experience operating in a high-growth, fast-moving environment; start-up, scale-up, or global experience preferred.
- High initiative, with a bias for action and a low tolerance for things sitting undone.
- Strong stakeholder range, from presenting programme updates to senior legal leadership to working through process problems with operational teams.
- Strong upward management, with the judgement to keep leadership informed, flag issues early, and know what to escalate versus solve directly.
