- Provide compliance advice when launching new sellers, categories or marketplace features
- Ensure decisions, policies and evidence remain accurate and audit-ready
About You
You will ideally have experience within marketplace compliance, trust and safety, seller risk, product compliance or regulatory risk in an online retail environment.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate
- Knowledge of UK consumer protection and ecommerce regulation
- Experience working with sellers, products, listings or online platforms
- The ability to assess risk and introduce proportionate, scalable controls
- Strong investigative skills and evidence-based decision-making
- Excellent attention to detail and documentation standards
- Confidence challenging stakeholders and escalating concerns appropriately
- The ability to explain complex requirements clearly
