The Opportunity

Join us as a Senior Compliance Manager within our London-based Global Delivery Operations department, where your work will directly impact the trust of thousands of consumers, riders, and partners.

Reporting to the Director of Operations Programmes, you will collaborate closely with Product, Data Science, Legal, and Rider Support teams, working to ensure our compliance operations are seamless and that we continue to deliver a world-class experience for our riders.

You will own new and existing compliance policies end-to-end from conception to roll-out as well as providing the operational grit necessary to manage complex compliance incidents across multiple departments.

What you’ll do

  • Oversee the strategy and execution for key rider policies

    • Sizing & Development: Partner with Data Science to quantify compliance risks and detect patterns to design policy logic and rules.

    • Execution & Optimization: Work with a multi-functional team (local markets, Rider Support, Data Science) to roll out these policies globally, tracking performance and iterating to continuously improve performance

  • Be the primary point of contact for compliance breach incidents:

  • Incident Leadership: When a gap is identified (e.g., a surge in fraudulent account creation), you lead the cross-functional response team to contain the issue.

  • Root Cause Analysis: You perform a deep-dive to understand why a breach happened.

  • Long-term Remediation: You turn incident learnings into policy strategy. You propose and drive the implementation of long-term structural solutions so that today’s incident becomes tomorrow’s automated prevention.

Requirements

  • Structuring Complex Problems: You can take a chaotic incident and break it down into a logical, executable plan.

  • Tactical & Strategic Balance: You possess the "operational urgency" to apply immediate, effective band-aids during an incident to mitigate risk instantly. You are a first-principles thinker who refuses to let a temporary fix stay forever; you transition quickly to identifying root causes and designing long-term, scalable structural solutions.

  • Stakeholder Management: You are comfortable "managing up" during a crisis and collaborating across technical and non-technical teams.

  • Data-Driven Mindset: You are comfortable using data to size a problem and measuring the success of a solution.

  • Experience in Programme Management in a complex regulatory environment preferred, but not required.

Diversity

At Deliveroo, we believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander.
