Are you looking for a compliance role with a varied remit, autonomy and the opportunity to help shape how a growing business approaches risk and regulatory compliance?
Barden is delighted to be partnering exclusively with a leading international renewable energy company in Cork as they appoint their first dedicated Risk & Compliance Specialist.
THE CLIENT
Our client develops, builds and operates renewable energy projects across multiple European markets and is continuing to grow its presence in Ireland and the UK. As the business evolves, they are looking for someone who enjoys working across a broad range of compliance and operational matters, partnering closely with stakeholders across the organisation and helping build robust, practical compliance frameworks.
The company operates a hybrid working with 2 days per week in the Cork office.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Reporting directly to the Head of Legal, this is a highly visible role with exposure across the UK and Ireland business, while also supporting international regulatory requirements.
This is far more than a traditional compliance role. You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of projects and responsibilities, including:
- Supporting regulatory and market participation compliance
- Coordinating data protection and wider governance initiatives
- Managing insurance-related activities across the business
- Working alongside contract owners to ensure ongoing compliance with contractual obligations
- Developing and improving compliance monitoring and reporting processes
- Partnering with Legal, Finance, IT and external advisors on a variety of regulatory and operational projects.
Full job spec is available.
The role offers significant autonomy and would suit someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes and managing multiple workstreams in a collaborative environment.
ABOUT YOU
We’re keen to speak with professionals who have around 3-6 years’ experience (although there is flexibility upwards) within compliance, regulatory affairs, risk or a related discipline.
You’ll have:
- Experience in compliance, regulatory or risk management
- Strong organisational and project management skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders, working across a broad and evolving remit
- A collaborative, hands-on approach.
Your background could come from:
- Financial services
- Professional services or consultancy
- Energy or utilities
- An in-house compliance or risk function
- A legal background with strong regulatory or compliance exposure.
