Compliance Manager- Third Parties

Are you passionate about driving ethical business practices and managing third-party risk? We’re looking for a Compliance Manager – Third Parties to help ensure YouGov works only with trusted partners and operates in full alignment with anti-bribery, fraud, and sanctions regulations.

In this role, you’ll shape how we assess, onboard, and monitor third-party relationships—supporting risk-informed decisions and working closely with our Procurement and Legal teams. You’ll also act as a risk business partner, helping teams across YouGov manage and mitigate potential legal, financial, and reputational risks.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives on building robust compliance processes, influencing ethical standards, and collaborating across global teams.

This is a hybrid role, requiring at least two days per week in the office. We support your work-life balance with a mix of in-office collaboration and home-based productivity.

○Ensure third parties comply with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards (e.g., GDPR, Bribery Act, FCPA).

○Monitor changes in regulatory requirements and update third-party compliance protocols accordingly.

 

1. Risk Management

○Identify and mitigate risks associated with third-party relationships, including cybersecurity, data     protection, and operational risks.

○Maintain a risk register for third-party entities and prioritize mitigation actions.

○Work closely with the departments allocated to you on their responsibilities under the company’s risk register. 6. Training and Awareness.

○Provide training and resources to third-party entities to promote compliance awareness.

○Collaborate with internal teams to educate stakeholders on third-party compliance risks, developing and delivering a global training programme both online and in person.

 

1. Incident Response and Investigations

○Investigate incidents involving third-party non-compliance or breaches of contract.

○Develop and oversee remediation plans to address compliance issues.

 

1. Reporting and Governance

○Prepare compliance reports for senior leadership and regulatory bodies as needed.

○Track key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the effectiveness of thirdparty compliance initiatives.
