• Provide support to instil a culture of accuracy and process improvement to ensure practices are fit for purpose.

• Champion and communicate the value of quality and precision in the operation and development of Flutter’s control processes.

• A successful track record of delivery in a compliance function or other applicable background

• Excellent analytical skills and a drive to understand sophisticated laws and regulations across many jurisdictions.

• Ability to identify and understand key issues, remove obstacles, and find creative solutions.

• Highly focused and structured approach to completing tasks within strict deadlines.

• Excellent teamwork skills and be confident to communicate with impact and relevance at multiple levels across the organisation.

• Team driven, with the ability to “lead from the front” and “roll up the sleeves” when needed.
