* Maintaining legal separation across entities to minimise liability and tax crossover

* Ensuring US entity compliance with state-specific requirements

* Auditing all US legal docs to ensure clear separation, responsibilities, and protection

Vehicle Title Verification (USA)

* Creating workflows for verifying ownership, identifying title fraud, and collecting the right documents

* Ensuring every purchase is backed by bulletproof verification

Payments & Customer Convenience

* Innovating beyond traditional bank transfers to enhance seller convenience

* Testing new payment methods like PayPal or card links

* Reducing cancellations and friction in the transaction process

CRM & Systems Revamp

* Replacing outdated CRM tools with efficient, structured solutions

* Improving tracking, handover, and relationship management across teams

Operator’s Licence Oversight

Procurement & Supplier Management

* Regularly reviewing service providers and ensuring operational efficiency

What We’re Looking For:

* Solid experience in risk, compliance, legal or procurement roles

* Understanding of both UK and US legal and operational landscapes

* Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills

* Experience handling legal documentation, safeguarding concerns, and data protection

* Confidence dealing with stakeholders at all levels—from suppliers to regulators

* A methodical, strategic mindset with an eye for both detail and big-picture risk

Why Join Us?

This is not a checkbox role. It’s a hands-on senior position where your judgment and insight will directly influence the direction of the business. You'll be joining a forward-thinking team that values initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement.
