About The Role

As a Compliance Officer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring Gallagher Security products, processes, and systems meet relevant quality and compliance standards across national and international markets.

This is a high-impact, highly connected role. You’ll partner with development teams, international stakeholders, Group Compliance and Legal, certification bodies, and customers to embed compliance from the ground up. From coordinating external testing to translating complex regulations into practical guidance, you’ll make compliance clear, actionable, and built in, not bolted on.

• Facilitate cross-departmental forums and maintain visibility of key compliance risks that may impact the Gallagher Security business.
