We are looking for a Risk and Compliance Senior Manager to lead regulatory compliance initiatives across the company.

You will define compliance priorities, balance local needs with our global product, and over time build a small team of experts.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape and own our compliance framework, driving both strategy and execution to support safe, responsible growth.

You will be responsible for:

• Strategic Compliance Leadership: Define and implement a practical compliance framework across products, marketing, and infrastructure, balancing scale-up needs with risk management.
• Clinical Collaboration: Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations relevant to our role as a medical center.
• Compliance Management: Partner with product, marketing, and security to ensure GDPR, healthcare advertising, and NIS2 compliance. Provide strategic advice on privacy and health regulation, enabling Privacy by Design and Compliance by Design.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with legal, IT, finance, HR, clinical, operations, and leadership to integrate compliance into all business decisions.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks across privacy, data, marketing, and communications. Lead DPIAs, LIAs, and other assessments.
• Global & Local Balance: Develop a compliance strategy that ensures our global product meets local regulatory requirements.
• Policies & Training: Create internal policies, deliver training, and build a culture of compliance and privacy awareness.
• Audit & Incident Response: Lead audits, monitor compliance, manage incidents, and oversee whistleblowing and reporting processes.
• Stakeholder Communication: Represent compliance priorities to leadership and advocate for key initiatives.
• Regulatory Monitoring: Track regulatory changes and best practices, updating company policies as needed.

Must-have

• 5+ years in senior compliance roles, with mandatory experience in a regulated market; healthcare sector (digital and/or physical) experience is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of European regulations, including data protection, healthcare, digital marketing, and consumer protection.
• Ability to anticipate and address evolving AI regulations, ensuring training, compliance, and organisational readiness.
• Global or pan-European experience, with ability to balance local compliance needs with a worldwide strategy.
• Excellent communication skills to translate complex compliance topics into practical solutions for diverse stakeholders.
• Proactive and hands-on, able to balance strategic initiatives with operational needs.
• Fluency in Italian and English, with international experience; presence in Italy is a strong advantage.

Power-Ups

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks and best practices (e.g., ISO 27001, Legislative Decree 231/2001)
• Proven track record in fast-paced startups or scaleups, working closely with product and marketing teams
