Head of Global Compliance

Relocation to London, UK

Type : Full-Time

About Us

We are a next-generation humanoid robotics company headquartered in London, with operations in Boston and Vancouver. Our mission is to build safe, reliable, and cost-effective humanoid robots for industrial deployment across global markets. As we scale, our ability to move fast while maintaining regulatory discipline across jurisdictions is critical.

We are hiring a Head of Compliance to lead our global compliance function - defining frameworks, supporting product and data teams, and enabling international growth across the UK, EU, USA, MENA, and other go-to-market regions.

We are a next-generation humanoid robotics company with operations in London, Boston, and Vancouver. We build safe, reliable, and cost-effective robots designed to operate in complex industrial environments. As we scale our technology and operations globally, we are committed to upholding the highest standards in regulatory, ethical, and operational compliance.

We are hiring a Head of Compliance to lead our global compliance strategy and operations. This role is central to our ability to move fast without compromising on trust, safety, or regulatory integrity—across our product, data, people, and physical environments.

About the Role :

As Head of Compliance, you will design and implement a proactive, risk-aligned compliance strategy that supports the business at all stages - from product development through to international deployment. You’ll provide leadership across safety certification, data governance, export controls, and regulatory readiness.

This is a strategic and hands-on role that spans robotics regulation, trade compliance, AI / data policy, and product assurance. You’ll partner with teams across engineering, supply chain, product, legal, and leadership to help the business navigate complexity while maintaining speed and flexibility.

Key Responsibilities :

Relocation to London, UK

Compliance Strategy & Governance

  • Define and maintain the company’s global compliance strategy, aligning with business, regulatory, and operational priorities
  • Support the executive team with clear visibility into compliance posture, risks, and mitigation plans
  • Maintain an internal compliance framework covering policies, training, controls, and reporting
  • Lead audit readiness, internal reviews, and documentation management across regulated functions

Product, Engineering & Safety Compliance

  • Drive global product compliance strategy, including CE / UKCA marking, machine safety standards, and third-party certification
  • Stay ahead of evolving global standards related to humanoid robotics, autonomous systems, and human-robot interaction (e.g. EU AI Act, safety of collaborative robotics, functional safety norms)
  • Support engineering teams with compliance input into design, development, and validation activities
  • Develop frameworks for continuous compliance as products scale across geographies
  • Data & Information Governance :

  • Collaborate with security and data teams to establish internal controls aligned with global data privacy and governance standards (e.g. GDPR, UK DPA)
  • Define and manage policies for data collection, storage, and usage - including training data, logs, video, and telemetry - across all operational and R&D systems
  • Enable auditability, consent management, and appropriate cross-border data transfer controls
  • Trade, Export & Supply Chain Compliance :

  • Manage global trade compliance, including export classifications, dual-use controls, and licensing (e.g. EAR, ITAR, UK Export Control)
  • Partner with supply chain and legal to develop controls for supplier compliance, including ethical sourcing, conflict materials, and regulatory risk exposure
  • Develop controls to manage exposure in key markets and geographies across our go-to-market footprint
  • Global Regulatory Enablement :

  • Provide compliance leadership for go-to-market activities across the UK / EU, USA, MENA, and other strategic regions
  • Stay ahead of evolving standards and requirements that could impact product deployment or operational execution
  • Build relationships with external advisors, regulators, and certification bodies where appropriate
  • Support geographic expansion with region-specific frameworks and documentation
  • Cross-Functional Leadership :

  • Act as the central point of contact for compliance-related inquiries, issues, and incident response
  • Lead investigations into compliance issues and support incident response where needed
  • Embed compliance requirements and culture into high-velocity product and engineering workflows
  • Translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into scalable internal processes and tools
  • Support contract negotiation and due diligence from a regulatory and export control perspective
  • Track global regulatory developments that may impact business operations and readiness
  • What We’re Looking For :

    Relocation to London, UK

  • 10+ years of experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, legal, or product safety functions within complex, high-tech businesses
  • Strong working knowledge of compliance domains relevant to robotics, AI, hardware / software systems, and data
  • Experience supporting compliance across international markets (UK / EU, US, MENA or others)
  • Ability to translate complex legal / regulatory concepts into practical, actionable internal processes
  • Experience supporting early- or mid-stage product companies through rapid scale-up and geographic expansion
  • Strong collaborator with the ability to influence engineering, commercial, and executive stakeholders
  • Systems-level thinker who thrives in ambiguity and builds from first principles
  • Bonus Points :

  • Prior experience with robotics, medical devices, industrial automation, or AI / ML compliance
  • Familiarity with ISO 13849, IEC 60204, CE / UKCA / UL / FCC pathways, or similar standards
  • Background in dual-use classification, export licensing, and supply chain trade compliance
  • Experience working with regulators and certification bodies (e.g. BSI, TÜV, Notified Bodies)
  • Background in law, engineering, product safety, or audit
  • Why Join Us?

  • Play a foundational role in shaping how a new category of technology is safely brought to market
  • Work at the intersection of hardware, software, AI, and operations on complex global challenges
  • Lead with real autonomy and make high-impact decisions across the business
  • Work directly with founders and functional leaders to shape long-term strategy
  • Work mode : office full time, Paddington district (London) - 5 min walk from Paddington station - 5 Merchant Sq, London W2 1AY
