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.

• Build and maintain effective relationships with accreditation and certification bodies, regulatory bodies, and key testing laboratories across regions.
• Translate regulations and standards into clear, practical requirements that help development and product teams design with compliance in mind.
• Provide technical advice and support to regional sales teams so they can respond confidently and accurately to customer compliance queries.
• Facilitate cross-departmental forums and maintain visibility of key compliance risks that may impact the Gallagher Security business.
