Some of the duties will include but are not limited to:

Take full ownership of the overall REACH Compliance Programme to establish clear governance, meeting cadences, control systems, milestones, and decision-making pathways.

*

Lead and coordinate the four primary branches of the programme (materials compliance, business continuity, regulations, and transformation), making sure all dependencies, risks, actions, and resources are visibly managed.

*

Step into a complex initiative that has lost its momentum and actively revive it by injecting clarity, pace, accountability, and confidence across all internal and external teams.

*

Ensure that all product modification and compliance plans are rolled out in a highly controlled manner that fully protects ongoing customer commitments and operational continuity.

*

Constructively push back against delays, resistance, and competing internal priorities while successfully maintaining the confidence and alignment of senior stakeholders.

*

Lead effective and professional communications with external regulatory bodies and stakeholders, ensuring all programme responses are robust and timely.

*

Provide concise and transparent progress updates, risk assessments, escalations, and recovery action recommendations directly to the Managing Director and senior leadership.

*

Develop strong, credible relationships across diverse technical, compliance, operational, commercial, and executive teams to secure long-term commitment to the programme's goals.

Essential Requirements:

*

Proven track record in senior programme management, ideally gained within a complex engineering, manufacturing, energy, aerospace, or alternative highly regulated sector.

*

Demonstrable success managing large-scale portfolios or multi-workstream programmes defined by high degrees of compliance, technical, operational, and stakeholder complexity.

*

A robust understanding of how to lead regulatory compliance initiatives.

*

Practical experience delivering material, product, process, or compliance-related changes without disrupting ongoing operations or customer commitments.

*

The ability to navigate senior leadership landscapes confidently, including communicating directly with Managing Directors to provide concise insights, robust challenges, and clear recommendations.

*

A clear history of leading through ambiguity, successfully recovering stalled or challenged programmes, and establishing structure where priorities or governance are unclear.

*

Strong relationship management capabilities, specifically the ability to influence and align senior technical experts, operational leaders, regulatory bodies, and demanding internal clients.

*

A leadership profile built on resilience and strong judgment, meaning you are comfortable managing strong personalities, overcoming resistance, and holding stakeholders accountable under pressure.
