About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Compliance Manager to lead the end-to-end compliance program for exhibitor and stand-builder delivered stands. This role ensures consistency across all Tahaluf shows, reduces operational friction, and protects the organiser, exhibitors, and visitors through clear governance and strong stakeholder management.

Key Responsibilities

→Own and continuously improve the Design & Build compliance framework (rules, processes, timelines, checklists, templates).
→Maintain and update exhibitor manuals and compliance guidance, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
→Define minimum standards for stand builders: documentation, insurance, H&S, structural requirements, and build practices.
→Lead the stand design submission and approval process (including SLAs, escalation routes, and quality control).
→Ensure plan checks are consistent, defensible, and applied fairly across exhibitors and stand builders.
→Track approvals, rejections, revisions, and compliance risk trends; reduce late submissions through better controls.
→Work with Operations and external delivery partners to ensure stand inspections, access controls, audits, and corrective actions are executed consistently.
→Standardise how fines/penalties, remediation actions, and incident escalation are applied.
→Help design and implement the internal compliance team structure (roles, capabilities, headcount phasing, training).
→Define what is owned in-house vs delivered via external partners, including clear scopes, SLAs, and governance.
→Build compliance dashboards: approval cycle times, audit volume, common failure reasons, onsite incidents, rework drivers.
→Identify systemic issues and implement process improvements to reduce workload and improve exhibitor experience.
