Build the internal compliance team + partner model<ul><li>
Help design and implement the internal compliance team structure (roles, capabilities, headcount phasing, training).</li><li>
Define what is owned in-house vs delivered via external partners, including clear scopes, SLAs, and governance.</li><li>
Set standards for partner performance (quality, turnaround time, onsite behaviour, reporting) and drive continuous improvement.</li><li>
Create repeatable tools and systems that allow the compliance function to scale across multiple events without quality dropping.</li></ul>
Stakeholder management<ul><li>
Partner day-to-day with Operations leadership to embed compliance early and reduce firefighting.</li><li>
