- Strong working knowledge of GDPR and broader compliance frameworks
- Ability to balance regulatory rigour with pragmatic, commercial solutions
- Confident communicator, comfortable influencing stakeholders at all levels
- Proactive, adaptable, and driven by high professional standards
- Relevant qualifications are desirable (e.g. CISM, CRISC, NEBOSH, or similar)
Why Join Sharp?
- A visible, value‑adding role with real influence
- Exposure to senior stakeholders and European governance teams
- A collaborative culture that values integrity, quality, and continuous improvement
- The opportunity to shape and evolve risk and compliance practices across a complex organisation
